[Newspoetry] Words Worth Play

[John]

"In December, the National Center for Education Statistics published a
report on adult literacy revealing that the number of college
graduates able to interpret complex texts proficiently had dropped
since 1992 from 40 percent to 31 percent. "

What's a complex text?  James Joyce, your average scholarly journal,
or a typical train schedule? The article doesn't say.
