Ode to the Syllabus

Oh Syllabus-

You, machine of destruction and chaos-

Ever-changing,

you toss me around in your stormy Seas,

Land of discovery

seen from afar

Yet, as I doggedly and earnestly move towards that safety

You drag me

down into the unknown and the shockingly, awe-inspiring        

new

Stopping, Sinking

                         mesmerized by your underwater wonders

But

                                                                          -cough-

I can’t contain you

                      Grasping Gasping

You toss me around

And the shores of certainty are lost to me

                                             forever
