Yearly sitting down and splitting up
Splitting the calendar into chunks
Making it balance out everything even
Checking the math, erasing, rewriting
Kids are not grapes in bowls
for an after school snack
Or who gets to cut the cookie
Who gets to pick the half
Every hello and goodbye
A reminder of bland fairness
But I don't want to split them
And I don't want to share them
This has got to be the hardest part.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure I wouldn't either.
ReplyDeleteThis hurts to read.
