The Impossible Test : Inspired by "Sweet Like a Crow" by Michael Ondaatje

The Impossible Test 

Inspired by "Sweet Like a Crow" by Michael Ondaatje

The test was as hard as playing basketball with a bowling ball
Like trying to watch a live stream soccer game with school wifi
Like playing flappy bird for the first time
Like singing along a song you never heard of
Like getting rid of an annoying adware called conduit
Like trying to get a broken phone charger to work
Like playing a drum roll with only one hand
Like running 6-laps with a cramp
Like saying fried chicken in Chinese
Like sailing with a broken sail
Like having a roommate who never wakes up
Like playing an electric guitar solo without a pick
Like doing a bicycle kick on a concrete floor
Like diving head-first from 10m
Like eating an apple in one bite
Like reading a boring book
Like catching my sister’s frisbee throw
Like memorizing a snare drum piece
Like erasing a crayon with an eraser
Like trying to break a window with a balloon
Like doing a hole-in-one in golf
Like swimming 2 km
Like removing a jammed paper from a printer
Like cramming for three tests in one day
Like untangling a fishing line
Like trying to find a penguin in the desert in Egypt
Like catching a fish with bare hands
Like passing a yarn through a needle hole
Like riding a bike on a steep hill
Like keeping a flower alive for more than a month
Like getting a baby to stop crying
Like writing this long poem
