Industry And Creativity

If We Sing To The Children
If We Sing To The Children I wear these memories as a cloak to ward off the chill. Emotions forgotten, but like new now ripping along my arms, settling bumps in straight rows to my heart.

The English Professor took umbrage with me and my manuscript. He said he had never seen anyone do this before! It was unheard of! He called me an anarchist. (I had to look up the word because I was not quite sure what was meant. One who overthrows is an anarchist.) He had read all…
