SPLINTERS IN LIFE

Chalkboards
Jotters
Slates
Pencils
Pens
Crayons
In classrooms and libraries,
We harness dreams and nurture
Them,
Drawing pictures of our tomorrows.


Out in the streets, alleys
Along the dusty footpaths
Of the countryside
Life splinters
Leaving us with cuts and
Bruises
Waking us to the reality that
Everything and nothing is
Guaranteed in life.
