How could I know beforehand

that a possum
made of cat hair
would arise
in just this spot?
*until* I scrubbed the sink?

could’ve should’ve would’ve are down the drain now, friends
watch
the clothespin rebels
doing only what can be
done actually
or not done

doing needful things

beautiful
best work in a moment human beings

to send
in all directions

Atop everyoven everywhere everytime everybeing is first a learner. A kindergarten-fresh human who basic-needs support meaningful to them, to navigate heat.
EDU is serious play & freedom from the scrutiny of others. To use the tools we’ve got on-hand & know how to use. *Then* potholders

Everything is on fire and the collective soup is calling us.
Kindergarten mantra forever’s been
“share”
share alike,
share diversely,
share equitably, inclusively,
often.

Whatever *you* bring is good enough to share on the circle rug same as all who’ve sat here before us, & will come after us.
