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
