TERMINAL POEMS

Feedback Loop

15 / 40 · III. The Lesson

The student
writes with the machine.

The teacher
marks with the machine.

The moderator
checks with the machine.

The external examiner
reviews with the machine.

Four humans
in the chain,
none of them
the author
of what passes
between them.

The grade is
a handshake
between algorithms –

firm,
bloodless,
mutually
assured.
