With a module in Cognitive Psychology
Don’t you dare ask me why
It was my first move away
From Technology and Mathematics
Something I simply had to try
She introduced herself
On the steps, outside a class
On Dichotic Listening
Can we sit beside you please
You seem to know what you are doing
Were her introductory words
I had taken a poetry book with me
The 1987 Eric Gregory Anthology
Don’t you care to ask me why
It was for my own protection
Among those more cultured types
Something I never did, or ever would deny
I coped, I managed, I did ok
Yet I changed
Poetry became me
Often after I simply had to cry
Yes, often afterwards
I simply had to cry
