Todd - Enjoyed the specifics of this piece, its accurate description and evocation
of a child's school experience.
"You learn this at school through the torture
of the clockâs unmoving hands,
no matter how hard you stare.
The cruelty of eternity
is found in always waiting"
Accurately observed and recorded.
Then this:
" He'd tear
away his sleeve, and with a magic pass
of the hand and a confident Presto reveal
not a bunny but a savage beast.
This is the second burden of childhood."
Ending on a humorous note - all well done - RC
