a school window daydream

windows bathed
in post rain sun
lessons lost
in deep daydreams...

     a quick jump
     a breezeway run
     fireman pole slide
     bike unlocked
     over the hills
     home

  2. Daydreaming was the best part of school. Hell, in all those years in a desk I must have traveled the globe ten thousand times over (it's nothing like they tell you).

    Great write.
