We deserve a system that funds dignity, not just rockets and tax shelters.

wayfarer settles,
nesting inside my tree
talkative night owl

all the stars I still can’t see

on a darkened playground
laughter floats
I listen from the bench

This back to school commercial airing in the US is exactly what you think it’s about, and I hate that it even has to exist.

Create true, lasting #bonds,
That the world will not break.

the smell of old pickles
and cigarette smoke
your bruised smile
apologies addressed to the floor
your voice breaks
and you hear
a sort of harmony
tangled with bad decisions
and futures you dared not #yearn for
the math league certificate
you won in fourth grade
framed on your mother's wall
