Adults turn schools into fortresses. ≠ Children frolic on the rooftops. Adults tape off the playground. ≠ Children dig underground hide-outs. Adults build moats round their friendships. ≠ Children have fun in the water. Adults dragoon them into bubbles. ≠ Children salsa with fairies. Children blow shapes out of laughter. ≠ Adults **** out the future.

Adults turn schools into fortresses. ≠ Children frolic on the rooftops. Adults tape off the playground. ≠ Children dig underground hide-outs. Adults build moats round their friendships. ≠ Children have fun in the water. Adults dragoon them into bubbles. ≠ Children salsa with fairies. Children blow shapes out of laughter. ≠ Adults **** out the future.
As our government procrastinate and prevaricate over plans for schools in the new year, I wrote this, inspired by children's propensity to find play, joy and creativity in every situation.
