It’s been a long week. It has left me ping-ponging between anger at the challenges young people face that we had never heard of growing up, and astonishment at how some of them respond with strength, dignity, friendship and love. One phrase in particular is a reflection both of what our young people endure, and of how they endure with resilience and even humour. I think you’ll know which one 🙂
cop cars in the parking lot
as the school bell rings:
another day, another twitter
feeding the fear.
A random wave of penises
washing over cellphone
screens, leaving them
scummy, defiled.
Children, wise
beyond their years;
their elders crawling
speechless in their wake.
