An AI Generated Image
I am a dusty fossil, dry and old
My lectures include no bright, flashing slides
When the words of the text are ductile gold
Behind shiny distractions, their truth hides
Mere existence, itself, is triggering
Life comes with no tidy content warning
We indulge too much fraught malingering
Anxiety is our only feeling
The pursuit of knowledge, we find boring
A perfect GPA is our real goal
Standardized testing makes remembering
Of cognition, the rote, robotic whole
I am a dinosaur, out of fashion
For education, I’ve lost my passion
