By now we were supposed to be fully assembled

I've always loved assembly lines
all kinds
I love watching each piece move by
one after the other
reaching each new step
one at a time.

I turn every thing into an assembly line
shirt folding, cookie baking
Education does this too
with children
but they forget
that assembly lines don't work
when each piece is different

  3. When we grew up and went to school there were certain teachers who would hurt the children anyway they could-
    by pouring their derision upon anything we did exposing every weakness.
