On the campus district Up the street from the theater district Down the road from University Circle

The best day of my life is not a static thing You have to have sleep or oxytocin

Easier to go places on bus people don't go to busses on I surprised myself She wanted to join the black panthers They told her to go find her own We all have our own What we reap is what we sow Real leadership considers what other leaders would bring This talent few had Lifted it up off the floor We knew each other before Certain things take decades to fall in place Human things I could see it in her This child of two continents

Not the first war zone I have worked in They are not how you would expect them to be The smartest children are born in war Because the community is pulled together Shared trauma is like a sweatshirt holding you tight 

Always on the look out for these students A few just too smart for school Most lost in boredom To want to be entertained all the time Is to not ever find Ever chase Nothing solves problems like hard work Math is about finding patterns To solve problems Would describe the scene Most of us leave the furniture alone Words do better describing love What I call them The primary work load of the everyday teacher

I do something to do nothing The end of almost every day We are who and how we return There are more solutions than problems Greater numbers of strategies Why learning never fails I will do almost anything To do nothing

Art is the most important subject in school You need all the other subjects to teach it History contains the history We do things together We do things alone Art reproduces Makes community Where life is lived
