Drop the 24-Count Crayolas Before Somebody Gets Hurt

Only one more tax-free day in which to go to Wal-Mart and fight a horde of other parents for cheap school supplies. I think I'll pass.

I'm remembering last year. There I was. Crushed in the school supply aisle with 30 other parents plus carts and offspring. I was snatching at the last few 25-cent, 24-count crayon boxes, when my next-door neighbor yelled at me over the furor: "Have they got any more PENCIL POUCHES?" I threw him a pink one over the heads of ten not-very-cheery shoppers.

He threw it back and bellowed, "Any blue ones? This is for my SON!"

"Sure thing!" I roared. "Need any GLUE STICKS?" He shook his head.

"GO LONG!" I yelled, and he faded back to the index cards for my forward pass.

Madman

madman
do you think he sees us
should we whisper
what will he do
as he touches all

They're crazed;
They see only one.
Trembling voices hide.
We know their evils —
their priorities and politic,
and their fantasies.

There, air is foul.
That ground is raised.
Stagnant waters swell.
Here is truth;
unheeded reality,
the message we bear.

History is departing

Prior moments
Forever done

The memories
And lessons learned

It isn't enough to plant the green babies
With a tobacco setter
Someone must follow behind
Scoop dirt around their roots
And press them firmly into the ground
Someone must replace
Those flung out
And crushed beneath the tractor wheels
