Back to the game,
Back to our story
After this brief pause
From our sponsors,
The tweens have arrived,
A trio plus one child,
Paroled from the classroom,
Given back to the world
From which they came.
They’re free to play,
Make friends,
And mischief.
Life is noisy,
Life is disorganized
With them here,
Present and accounted for.
Loaded with more knowledge,
Equations, names and dates,
Explanations loosely held,
The girls brush it all aside
For the more important
Stories, facts and fictions,
That consume them
In their off hours.
Interruptions of silence
Intrude into the noise,
Calm dislodges quiet,
If only briefly
Ravenous for sugar,
Hungry for chocolate and chatter,
Thirsty for life, they down soda
After soda, preparations
For heir assault
On the world.
They have their own questions,
Their own demands for attention.
Let us pause
Ten seconds
For sanity
To announce itself.
And now we return
To our original
Programming
Already in progress.
