Dave Bonta's "Exam" borrows the shape of a test, with numbered questions and commands, but almost nothing in it has a right answer. Instead of checking what you know, it asks you to pay strange, close attention. "Jot or tittle?" and "Eye or eye-drop?" turn on tiny differences, while "Hole or window?" asks whether something empty can also be a way of seeing.
The voice is bossy and playful at once. It tells you to "make yourself uncomfortable," then insists you are "nothing like a cat" and still needs your help finding one. Questions about the legs of a creature, or what you'd "read to books," suggest the speaker wants us to look at the natural world, and at language, with fresh eyes.
The last command, "Demonstrate molting," hints at the real point: to learn is to shed an old skin. The mood is curious, teasing, and a little unsettling, and it treats failing the exam as a kind of success.
