One of my students asked me today
"What does overwhelmed mean?"
I smiled, recovered
It means
finding too many lost kids
too little time
seeing the possiblilty
slip
like sand through my fingers
looking for answers
hoping
to ask the right questions
building a castle
sticky sand on a freeway
seeing courage
to ask
what 'overwhelmed' means
Hey everybody, Paul is back : )

Paul, this reminds me that poetry seems to be where you accel (or is it excel?) with writing the most. I remember you wrote one in college about a typewriter and your mother that was superb.

I do seem to have an easier time presenting an idea with poetry. I need to try and start writing more regularly.
