Test writers
you who weren't loved as children,
make high school students quiver in fear.
The equivalent of planting bamboo chutes
under their nails
and dipping the fresh wounds in Lemon juice.
You mock them
five tiny bubbles to fill in.
One right answer.
Some of us just doodle patterns on the leaves.
Others still try their hardest
on questions designed for them to fail
by you, not loved as children.
