Open Season


unforgotten knowledge lays on the ground
students pride themselves in not knowing
teachers frolic instead of lecturing,
hoping for pay scale increases...
life goes on and then it doesn't - one or
more reasons to blame - just not the
system as it was designed not to fail;
people stand in line to talk with stars
no knowledge required for admissions,
tickets are sold by the boatload
charging the expense to someone's
credit card - needlessly mounting up...
caregiving stroll through the garden
pushing their patients with vegetable eyes,
not worrying about the accommodations
since they sleep elsewhere at night...
millionaires and billionaires' bobble
along the ground like talking heads
attempting to play broken records on 
phonograph - no one has spoken to then
in years so they know of no changes...
we spend our lives in isolation wondering
why the world is the way it is - never
letting us know that life could be different.
