“Rubik’s Cube”
By Kaitlyn Ashbeck, Ryan Bradaseric, Brooklyn Jelinek, and
Matt Skibinski
Rainbow little leprechaun
Expletive producing Pandora’s Box
Cryptic maddening trickery
Mysteriously complex charm
Will of God producing Cracker Jack of rewards
“Inspired by Gertrude Stein, this is a creation by American Literature II students who participated in a delightful group collaboration in which we discussed the complexity of a Rubik’s Cube.”
