Depreciating The Young

February 25, 2021

Grammar school speculators

charlatan math

trading the currency

of borrowed youth

optioning the investment

in forsaken dreams

hedging their futures

with diminished returns

margining interest

—that will never compound

(Radnor School Board: February, 2021)
