RUN TO THE GATE
Run to the gate
Cannot be late
Climb metal fence
Hedge cedars dense
Shortcut past Hydro towers
Hurdle through meadow flowers
Follow the creek
Where muskrats sneak
Watch black tadpoles
Swim in green shoals
Contemplate soggy sandwich
Deserted in boggy ditch
First bell’s ringing
Swallows winging
Snatch clouding gnats
Mushrooms tip hats
While lichens scale ashen bark
Graffiti grooves leave their mark
Race on asphalt
Monkey bar, vault
Take place in line
Seconds to nine
God save queen, prayer to Our Lord
Eyes front, I read the blackboard
Conform it says
Your sins confess
Daydream, I’m gone
Run off and on
Back to urban nature’s state
Home, where mom waits by the gate

Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way

Artists are magical helpers. Evoking symbols and motifs that connect us to our deeper selves, they can help us along the heroic journey of our own lives.

Kids often seem to me to be sped up, like mice and other small creatures with fast metabolisms.
