night tumbles into the valley like
a rock falling off a mountain side,
we stand out of the way and let
her roll in her own direction...
days are not as long as before
now that the summer has come
to an end and students are once
again back in the classroom...
memorizing for the grade and
not to retain anything... we are
the one responsible for those
decisions based upon the way
we focus our demands... we
light a candle to see the way
since electric is at a premium
and our vehicles must have
the priority... we bathe in an
area around the cook stove
not looking at those around
us as we are of mixed race
and gender and need to stay
in our own lane and heritage.
