Extension School

Some things cannot be done by distance learners:
It takes a presence to achieve those ends.
Even when other put on afterburners
Their extra speed can never make amends
For what they lack. You cannot, through hard work
Alone, achieve the same from far away;
I know I may come off here like a jerk
But it's just something that I have to say:
Being there matters. Nothing you can do
Can imitate or replicate the feel
Of being present, and it's always true
That something's lost out of what should be real
By absence. In some cases, that's not bad
But in some ways, it's permanently sad.
