Abstract
Short Visiting Hours for Children Lynn Strongin (bio) These Noddies have nothing else to wait forbut God will make no intercessionso why are visiting hours so short cut by razorswhen pain is a dominant extension:stretched out white winter snakeor the braids Mother used to loop around her fingerour shining copper,chestnut,lustre like new butter. Children lined on stretchers in hallsreminiscent of the Civil War drummers &soldierboys with gun, aged 14:girls ephermeral in white down aisles like a nunnery, 9. 10. 11O Convent:Covenant:white bedsteads with the whirlpool of vacant white airspinning beside them a top inan abyssVortex open & upover a metal cup.Anything but a "lippy" child the nurse hacked:the void wheels in small circles of steamed milk.There was a childhood left behind:flower coming out of cracks in the sidewalk.Now the red & the white corporals are drawn from the vialgunning, warring. The flocked lamb simply fell out of my armsLoss struck like a fistlike the Wonderful Wallendas on their final demonstration; [End Page 177] The Hours of the Mothers & Fathers came & went down stairs like choirboys carryingcandles:the mirrors reflected themthe poor hourswhen a whirlpool suctionedautumn rain& teal iceglazier of Chylde winter's tomb came.Why, when all was so brief, shorn, puny & the will of the matron iron-strong,Why were visiting hours not more long?

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
