Frozen faces
in a routine world
of read this and write that
response, intrigue,
inspiration
is thirsty on their tongues
tired eyes
tired bodies
tired
working for gas money
cigarettes and
tomorrow's clothes
they want meaning
they want to
be meaningful
do meaningful work
so it's up to you,
dear teacher,
to convince the sons and daughters
of both wealth and need
that they have a great story
that they are a great story
and that you are listening.
