To Teach, To Live

Get up.

Drink coffee.

Drive to work.

Stare.

 

Get up.

Drink coffee.

Drive to work.

Stare.

Drive back.

 

Get up.

Drink coffee.

Drive to work.

Stare.

Drive back.

Sleep.

 

Get up.

Drink coffee.

Drive to work.

Stare.

Drive back.

Sleep.

Do it again.

 

That’s no way to live a life

 

What about humanity, what about subsistence?

What about plurality, what about coexistence?

 

What about teaching, what about understanding?

What about reaching, what about expanding?

 

That’s a life, yes there’s a dream

To pass on wisdom, guidance supreme.
