My Strict Headmaster
my test
to be intuitive in the
art of perfection
there is no accepted curve
no cram for this course
I'm in for the long term
There is only one grade
for every err
a proof occurs
another invitation
to perfection
that must be the mark!
I can not allow any slip slack
without ardent study
or myopia will creep
my sincerest rod
is loss
loss of what could be now but
now
can't be
loss of
potential
and death repress life
correction
is dispatched vehemently
not done as a masochist
that would be dismissive
it's a scared bookmark in the heart
faithful reproof
lessens lessons to come
more potential
lived
but as student
recourse is requisite
if some day I may know the answer
before the test
to be intuitive in the
art of perfection
there is no accepted curve
no cram for this course
I'm in for the long term
There is only one grade
for every err
a proof occurs
another invitation
to perfection
that must be the mark!
I can not allow any slip slack
without ardent study
or myopia will creep
my sincerest rod
is loss
loss of what could be now but
now
can't be
loss of
potential
and death repress life
correction
is dispatched vehemently
not done as a masochist
that would be dismissive
it's a scared bookmark in the heart
faithful reproof
lessens lessons to come
more potential
lived
but as student
recourse is requisite
if some day I may know the answer
before the test
