from Fields of Learning
When we go out into the fields of learning
We go by a rough route
Marked by colossal statues, Frankenstein's
Monster, AMPAC and the 704,
AARDVARK, and deoxyribonucleic acid.
They guard the way.
Headless they nod, wink eyeless,
Thoughtless compute, not heartless,
For they figure us, they figure
Our next turning.
They are reading the book to be written.
As we start out
At first daylight into the fields, they are saying,
Starting out.
– Josephine Miles (1968)
