Old New View
I’m tired of the view from my window
With the same old shaggy dog,
Gutted out cars,
And frozen mud footprints.
Tired of the view
That focuses on screaming two year olds,
Half eaten PBJ’s,
And the lost toys that map their world.
I’m tired of
The mindless adults that don’t listen,
Spreadsheets and data bases,
And group work in Stats.
I want a view
That will change,
A view I can keep,
A view that will stay.
