| The Chickens in The Barn are restless The Kids are quiet The Dog sighs as the Human sleeps His head on his Master's lap His Master's head on his laptop. His lick wakes him up Time to change the storyline, says The Pup. Don't make a sound. You'll scare The Chickens in The Barn Time to meet up with Your True Maker again Out on the street, not on your keyboard Time to take a walk Besides, I need to take a pee. But its early in the morning, Little Bear Its cold out there. I know its not yet Winter but The rain sounds like sleet. Its too cold. Must I pray again for soft rain, for warmth? For glorious sunlight? Who knows? I don't want to. Stop whining, Little Bear said with his eyes And listen to me. Write your story from the inside out Where its always warm Where your heart is reborn, twice its size! (Once you poke your head outside.) The stairways you create wind up and down without staircases anyway Hard to climb these stepping-up to nowhere steps Man-made hills of concrete and stone Mountains made out of molehills Fantasies wound up in messages to the children Teaching them all the social lessons Seizing them bump and grind from Horsy-making war-mongering preying on their spine Making paper dragons out Of their own makings.
While The Children Laugh and Conquer Time.
Learning to step lightly among the adults In spite of all their phrasings Winding their own way one way or another up and down the steps For their staircases are not made of finest marble, But of sweet-smelling flowers, licorice root, rhythm and rhyme. Adults will get the message eventually, the older children replied As they slowly climbed back up The Ladder Making the rounds once more in their own playground made of sky.
