while we wait
in nice weather
in a friendly line
to see a show
some of us chat
some of us think
some of us check messages
some of us watch
some of us worry
some of us laugh
some of us sigh
and
some of us –
juggle.

i’m always hopeful.
i feel like I’m at the prom sitting against the wall
waiting for someone to ask me to dance.

it is a curious man looking through a keyhole,
the keyhole of nature,
trying to know what’s going on.”

kinders offer their presentations
to
the other kinders
and to us
their teachers.
they are very excited
as
they tell us
all about
the animals
they have studied.
one teaches us about
the colorful parrot.
another one asks
‘why do they fly?’
kinder answers
‘so they can see the world.’
in this moment
of clarity and understanding
she has
traded places with us
and has
become the teacher
and
we learn so much from her.
