Chalk Line
Chalk is the magic of blackboards, sports fields and
little girl's sidewalk games of Hop-Scotch.
How many equations and statements, measured lines, and boxes
do you imagine have been drawn upon those waiting surfaces?
Dare one imagine -into infinity?
On...

Take Me With You
If you go downtown early morning
You can see the shopkeepers setting
Old treasures on the sidewalk,
Writing their welcomes with chalk
On little standing blackboards,
Inviting you inside their stores.
Honeysuckle Antiques has its window
Filled with newfound things to show,
Local...

WHERE LOVE LEARNS NO MORE
Where Love learns no more
two serpents crawling twine
one midnight black another
luminous wizardy white
entangled fanged bedazzled
circled by ultra violet rays

I graduated in January, happy as a lark!
I was able to enlighten young ones, no longer would
they have to live in the dark!

Sand
How the wind is howling grit into the eye
and the storm vents its commiserating
to burden the worrisome sky
back forced into the bleach bit
to hang by grasping throat
and scurry to those rat holes
where safety feels safe...

Chalk Dust and Unspoken Words
The blackboards loom, a silent witness to that day—
I glimpsed her, and my chest tightened.
Only god noticed how I held my breath.
Chalk-scented classrooms, her pen tapping desk,
My eyes fixed on textbooks, pretending indifference.
Unknowingly, how aware...

Long Live The Sillies
Enough is enough of this seriousness
Back to the sillies where I belong
Here's something to ponder, my friends
Why is the word 'abbreviation' so long
I don't usually have to think twice
Before giving it a second thought
You're schizophrenic?...

Appendages
Appendages
They grow up in wardrobes
in their place of coat-hangers
and are left to develop a certain comfort for
dark uniform closed door spaces
Occasionally the light of day
on a whim may grant them praise
and flaunt their...

To Whom It May Concern
In an attempt to document my worth to your esteemed organization, I hereby submit my unredacted resume.
I was educated using blocks, books, chalk, blackboards and the slide rule. “Testing” was used to “evaluate” progress...

Memories of 'shirley Corner' School And' Miss Ball'
The old school bell would ring out at the start of the day.
Chalk on blackboards, shirts and ties.
The school colours of green and gold.
Crowded classrooms, with very little room.
Lunchtimes were spent in classrooms,small and crampt.
No...

Another Dream
Another dream
My strength seeps from the cracks,
crevices ripped in a single slip
Reaching for hope again
I left my chest wide open
Streams of worth
flow like lying children
stealing quarters from the collection plate
at Sunday school -...

Country School
The little brick school house
where Mama used to go,
sets quietly atop the hill
thru' summer heat and snow.
The bell on top is silent now,
the window shutters tight,
the door is weather-beaten,
and floors an awful sight.
The old stove...

Gun Shy
If guns don’t kill people
Why are so many people dead
Another moms child
shot in the head
Blackboards white chalk
splattered in Red
A teacher killed
For something she said
Victim after victim
Demons need to be fed
On violence they’ve been...

Nostalgia
I stand before it,
Something that was my present in past,
And is yesterday today,
Something that has become a memory at last.
A shade of yellow settled in my eyes,
Which would now reminisce everything in sight,
Bidding my last...

Devil In the Chem Lab
Highschool years,
Not my best,
Though I easily passed any test,
I joined the chem lab,
To assist a bird brained woman,
She was rarely in the lab,
And we were rarely performing,
what we were supposed to be do'ing,
We'd mix different...

Back To School
Early September rain
A dampened sidewalk,
Wet leaves lead me back
To blackboards and chalk
The wood of the desks
Cupboards along the wall,
Fresh, clean and simple
Newly awakens it all
The lessons learned
Countless memories made,
A moment forgotten ...
I'm...

A Miracle of Statistic
So you feel, like a miscarriage
a miracle of statistic, boxed away and sealed
Where love-lost is a permanent condition
Faith a contra-septive thats declining with permission
And you kneel, and you kneel
And you feel, all that you portray

Seeking Meaning
on fibers coarse
with little clay
nibs are stained
with indigo ink
lines of cursive
carefully formed
seeking meaning
to come forth
chrome plated steel
and laminate wood
plastics cast
a cage formed
aligned in rows
of boys and girls
trying to find
what to know
classroom did form
a prison dark

The Table
The lesson was don’t speak with a mouthful,
And not at all when grown folk speak.
My pitiful plate burns on my lap,
So too does my sister’s on hers.
The dinner table sits too small to invite children

Worlds Colliding
Here I stand once again
Can't care if the words flow anymore
Nostalgic overload blows through my shell
Staring out of an old window
Where did I stand?
Head down, staring out of the old window
Teacher cleaned the blackboards as...

The Serling Zones
There are many zones
the popular Twilight Zone
crossing the school zone
with all the basics
like writhing and reeling and
arrhythmias are fatal
for Western students
cluelessness, secrecy, and
incapacity
ignored globe grows dust
and the school's walls have blackboards
dartboards for target practice
the teachers...
