Need to write one more
Keep it going even if
Nothing else gets done

And five hours in the office
Makes for a strange day

Another morning
Alone in a hotel room
Trying to connect

Small ritual I enjoy
In a hectic day

Whether you are there or not
Treasure each moment

Be a blessing and a curse
What will I achieve?

Students and teachers
We know we’re one of the two
But why not be both?

There’s so little of it you
Must steal what you can

Until the phone rings and you
Have to explain it

To patterns of behavior
Change the way you think

Always this thing or that thing
Never what we need

Tell them what to do
And hold their feet to the fire
You’re the boss, ain’t you?

Never just a single piece
They’re all connected

With just our hard work and our
Government contracts

The whole neighborhood joins in
I close my window

About not meeting your needs
Make sure you have asked

It’s scary but easier
When you have no choice

Chosen by a matchmaker
To become good friends

There are no more hills to climb?
Nothing left to prove?

About God and Government
As if that’s our choice

But don’t worry. My husband
Says it is okay

A new school and new teacher
That’s all he needed

Or you can learn from others
How do you do both?

Over-simplification
Few know the diff'rence

Cannot be resolved just by
Working from within

But if you act their servant
You will not help them

Not to you but to their base
Then make up your mind

Why is your robot sending
Emails I can’t stop?

You disagree on something
That really matters

Think about leaving
Sometimes it’s all you can do
To stop going mad
