Now they want students
to report the extremist beliefs
and “at-risk behaviors and activities”
of their schoolmates
Of those engaged
in the writing of “stories,
diaries, journals, essays, poems”
or “letters’ and “songs”
Of those going
their own sweet way
“in unaccountable time
and unobservable space”
Of the terrorist-by-definition
radicals and political protestors
ecology and animal rights advocates
in their imperiled midst.
