So, I do my functions quotidian
Grading, writing, reading, & preparing
For future classes that are yet to come
Day's illumination not yet daring

I am sitting in the festering swamp
Of Artificial Intelligences
Swatting well fed vermin that on me chomp
(Unrestrained wealth shows its inelegance)

I am plummeting into the maelstrom
Of reading & trying to improve
The rough drafts that may fail some
(I will get this semester in the groove!)
#GradingPoem

There is raptor of celebrity
Circling o’er today’s humanity
One will rise ridiculously
& be tempted with mortal vanity
