Uncompromising...

what is this all about?
Time is asking.
What is this rush all about?
These series of silent
and prolific outputs?

Symptomatic of
what? Cramming examinees
to Time's ultimate Quiz

Choosing the best answer
In such a short time
Making the best essay possible
hoping to get a perfect
Score.

Time, why are you too short?
Time, why are you so brief and concise
and so cruel?

There will be no blanks.
Every choice is made
Every empty hole is shaded
Filled and
Submitted.

Time is time.
All pencils up.
