back to school

back to school

it's tuesday morning

the weather is cooler

the furnace has left its hibernation

kiara is in deep conversation with her bed

nicholas is bug-eyed and confused

copper won't bark and seems to have lost all his energy

a screeching noise resonates throughout the corridor

it's mom, yelling it's time to wakeup

but wait, it's only 6:00AM

last september's nightmares come to life

wash earlier, dress earlier and what, make the bed

what the heck happened to summer

this just isn't fair

back to school with little or no preparation

who's making these rules

breakfast won't make it all the way down

stress is a real factor this time of the year

now i know why grownups drink coffee and smoke

childhood trauma

the walk to school is no walk in the park either

everywhere, kids with 50 pound backpacks

and smiling mothers

the schoolyard is full of idling cars

green economy eh

big yellow sardine cans litter the landscape

fright night begins in the early morning

a glimmer of hope appears

someone decided to bring a soccer ball

the geeks are smiling with glee

the future messengers of artificial intelligence appear haunting

but it's time to line up, and

meet the new homeroom teacher

let's hope its no weirdo, but what are the odds

the teacher's name will say it all

the bell rings, the fight begins

my ass quickly loses heat on the cold desk chair

here !!!!!

thank you
