Researched Poem | J.K. Durick

I began by brainstorming a bit
came up with a keyword and
a few modifiers, Googled them
even Yahooed ’em, before trying
them on more serious databases
Academic Search Searcher and
SelexisNexis, no end of sources
from too little to too much, so
I began interviewing the folks I
could con or corner long enough
to question, to sample, then formed
a test group to test, set up a few
experiments, watched them closely,
gathered the statistics, measured,
compared, counted, and calculated
came up with results, a thesis of sorts
an assertion to test, to write up, like this,
like now and leave here, like this, to see
if anyone reads it and then responds.
