There is nothing more deathly it seems to me than arguing about grammar in the office, outside the classroom. Inside the classroom, I refuse to die, to instead infuse this necessary practice - which steals me from my garden - with a love stem-like. There I can see inside the covers of books, where the children hide their writing, and bud with knowing, that it is something far from the struggle for domination so often in their speaking.

ReplyDelete"a love stem-like"
is an extraordinary phrase
like any hope tending toward the light
or might be a mighty oak
ReplyDeleteLet us not argue but rather watch the buds grow.
