too late to have waited for the right time to pass for the right grass to grow we are holding out our hands and making no demands just scandal enough to get out of bed for we are easily led more or less and the tests are too stressful to pass even if the overall grade isn't failing here we go flailing about and spreading the doubt the contagious grout that holds societies together we measure for measure with breezy insecurity heading off diplomacy and wondering into normalcy which needn't be and often isn't just a path of least resistance leaning into oh dear leaning into lazy fear the kind that clears our minds and the rest follows the hollowed-out stomach the weary glances in the other direction waiting for corrections but hoping none come we are undone by chewing gum and other solutions to problems that don't exist
