Poetry By S Reeson
Playground Chatter
Listen to a reading of this poem by the artist:
it is important to recall that not all kids are as resilient as the other parents say they are if all you think about is that next reward then perhaps this might be the case but if a mind is full of the stuff of Universes everything a simultaneous possibility then maybe there is much more to lose when you treat them with mealy gross contempt ignoring their infinite outcomes the other adults sometimes ideas they hold are wrong not all kids are resilient not all kids will thrive crucially even now some struggle to survive
