one.
start there.
now read
and learn,
go slow. absorb.
remember.
there will be
a test later.
in fact there
will be many
tests along
the way.
some spot
quizzes
too. take
notes and underline
what seems
important,
what doesn't.
it all matters
despite your
indifference
at the moment.
carry it with you,
what you've
learned, tomorrow
