a quiet and mindful day at school

today i was allowed to tell stories
to a lovely grade 2 class
they were very attentive
and
had very clean shoes

we windfall-walked in the classroom to music
and later took our bundles out into the whirled
so we could gaze at them before we string-wrangled them open

apologies to the school cleaner
we left rather a mess on the carpet

this was a sample
brewed in the trusty travelling pot
to show how two simple ingredients
[used] teabags and onion shells
- considered rubbish by most
can together produce rather lovely colour
