Video Repost: Is this the End of Publishing?
I thought this video was thought-provoking. I presented the video to my classroom with mixed results.
- "I get distracted when I read. It's not ideas I don't like, it's reading."
- "I think it's ironic they posted it on Youtube."
- I get it but it's hard to explain."
- "Well, I don't read but I'm still smart."
- "I read in magazines what Lady Gaga's wearing, does that count?"
- "Oh, it reverses!"
- "They say 'Lady Gaga" with an "R" sound."

Poem: Test Anxiety

| photo credit: trainsignaltraining |
pen to paper smooth
his face squished, concentrated
in the morning,
before school
he is aglow with the joy
of youth
in the span of a day,
will you complete the cycle of turns?
will you go from ruddy to rude?
from studious to confused,
or cling to a man, a boy or a girl,
unaware as of yet on how to
articulate a body in space
time
laughing, loving
the essence of being human?

Poem: "Weight Problem"
A plump pudge gathered round
my navel,
a pink mound
peering and chuckling
over my pyjamas.
I poked my pinky into my flesh
a skin landscape, a planet of hair
laughing back at me
as I glided my razor across my
smooth gilette face.
