STUDIFIED JONES
by TD Euwaite
To have a full set of teeth again,
like back when I could
bite a #2 Ticonderoga in half,
Unspent paper was the wasted,
loose leaf, ream sized binders full,
Chewed to pulp for spitwads,
Receptacles for every kind of refuse,
Catch basins, trash bins, pencil-filing traps,
Consumables, with no permanence of ink,
The arithmetical brilliance
of Geometry homework
folded into an airplane.
