I have to fill out an ethics application for my honours. Yesterday I was talking to a man called Ross who said the form in itself is a bit of an ordeal. So I wrote this:
The ethics form is not kinetic
Or magnetic
I’m feeling apathetic
Reading it is an anesthetic
The words lose meaning and now they’re just phonetics
I’m no good at forms, it’s not genetic
But when it’s done I admire the aesthetic
Queues of carefully chosen alphabetics
The white spaces between words make patterns that are geometric
My mind is freed and once more energetic
