Back to Black...Boards




Back to Blackboards


But the blackboards are bare
teachers prefer chalk-less fingertips
and sitting on chairs
or standing behind podiums
we are herded
like old times
in chairs in a room
but this time
they ask us to plug in
to laptops
and take class online
while in class
so meta
so metaphorical
for the times
education
is a dying art
a dying breed
we are headless
dirty old men
flinging bills
at lecturers
who say
click on this page
and give a provocation
because
it is time to grade fair
in fairness
fair for all
