An old poem...

...that has special relevance again today, after taking the GRE Lit test.

Standardized Tests


Finding that one does not have
a high hook
to hang one's hat on
(having guessed it already).

Finding that a single movement
unravels the knot you've fretted over
with trembling fingertips.

Finding that you are precisely
a man (nothing more,
nothing less).
