I MOVED FROM SCHOOL

I moved from school to the next
with counterclaims about some text

of each one selling what he's got
he seeks for naught he finds he's bought

another package of what seems
some bits and pieces of a dream


so there it is, another twist
of sense perception in a mist
another picture on a screen
e n o u g h - it makes you want to scream


can't we step back
to firmer ground

and watch the rest
go round and round

to know the difference
when we touch
a rock

or just some foaming slush
