In Our Schools by Gilbert Koh

Some are Special,
or Express. A few are
Gifted. The others
are merely Normal
(a polite life).

All are classifiable,
like chemical compounds,
lists of Chinese
proverbs,
or lab specimens of dead insects -

preserved, labelled,
pinned by a cold
needle
through the
unfeeling thorax.
