The Cutting Edge

“All

we are taught

represents
the current progress

of humanity’s
understanding;

as no one knows
everything yet,

there are possibilities
of a discovery

shattering
what we always

believed
to be true.

So,

my grades are
the grader’s understanding

of my understanding
of the knowledge

that is being
passed down.

And,

since I am at
the cutting edge

of that
groundbreaking
discovery,

it is only natural
that I get Fs.”
