Teachings

Sharp hot streaks furrow
In clouds of dust that burrow,
Records of the pacing age--
Scribbles and turnings of the page;
Passing clouds of lessons that end
Upon ends, fast paced minds scurry again.

In torrents of homework and such,
Depicted by foreseen flash floods,
Bombarded by much overload--
Of information overlooked
As the teachings of nature.
