The canker
Thursday, May 25th, 2006A 15 year old kid, never in the library that I noticed.
And I complain like bandwidth and tech-shy teachers are the real problems with public urban education?
The canker galls the infants of the spring,
Too oft before their buttons be disclosed,
And in the morn and liquid dew of youth
Contagious blastments are most imminent.
Be wary then; best safety lies in fear:
Youth to itself rebels, though none else near.
