Can
you tell it is a week of testing at our school? Yep, most teachers will
recognize this one.
Five
Minutes and Holding
Electric
currents concentrated
For
this is the hold
Of
being a non-participant
An
outlier of norm
A
thoroughbred at the gate
Ready
to run hard
The
leader of those bred
In
a constructed race
Not
for the horses
But
for the owners
And
their profit
More
than that lone gambler
Who
recognizes petite potential
Despite
the sour statistics
That
points the opposite direction
Circumstances
are the great equalizer
That
places favor in one’s corner
The
chomping at the bit
To
break through
And
gallop gaining glory
Taking
a lap in the winner’s circle
Not
everyone will be there
Some
go back to the barn
To
race another day
But
when waiting for that shot
They
are all running ahead
On
a clear day
No
injuries
A
jockey who can really ride on top
They
stamp eager to go
And
the bell rings
They’re
off!
Instant
loud bangs of lockers
Distant
yells in the hallway
Raucous
laugher erupting
As
students bolt
Out
of the gate
To
their next class
