Just the Test

I memorized it for the test

and spat back the answers

scribble, cross-out, scribble, done

the useless facts have been turned in

I get it back, a decent score

thank goodness for that study guide

I beam with pride and thank God above

for letting me do so well

graduation rolls around

and I walk in my silver gown

I take my diploma and walk away into reality

without remembering a thing
