Here's the one poem that I put in my course book that so offended my student and confused the rest of them. It was in a chapter on perception checking. 1. at the edge of the lake, against what I think I see maintains an uneasy truce with who I fear I am, the words I said and those I remember saying the remains that remain of what I assumed I knew. 2. gingerly trades spots with the person you are sits uncomfortably next to what I believe. what I want you to want, you heard, or desired to hear, the cormorant and its image traced paths through the sky --------------------- OK, come at me.Poetry has no place in computer science.
I suppose some people would argue also that a communications course has no place in a computer science program. Many people, in fact. That's why there are so few courses like mine. Where what I see comes to rest,
and, up on the bank, who I am
while in the cabin’s shade the gap between
is just wide enough to contain
Out in the canoe, the person I thought you were
and what I believe I believe
When I promised I will always give you
