Triada Samaras Poem: 5 or 6 P's

5 or 6 P’s

Piss poor progress

Places a premium on

Puttering

Not perfection

On passion, perseverance,

And pedagogy

Developed in lieu of

Probable possibility

Parties with Prozac

And Pinot Grigio

Promoting plump particles of pride

And pleasing the public

Puts power over paradox

And privilege over participation

Progress might placate

But perfection will polarize

The precarious prevalence

Of primitive panaceas

c. Triada Samaras  2015 ed. 2026
