elementia

Wordsmith

By Maddie Jones

words

like amorphous chunks of metal

they rest on a shelf in my brain

and beg to be molded



I long to hold them in the

fire of my skull

till they are soft and malleable

Hawk upon blue sky

Soaring above brook and spring

On the endless high

What is this nonsense that a school represents?

It teaches the ways of a trained money controlling society

I dwell in the essence of my mind knowing they don’t have me convinced

I’m an individual and I will not be another part of the variety
