PATTERNS
Too soon the patterns
Tell us how to move.
Too soon!
Leave your dreams
Outside the door.
All sit!
All stand!
Listen now!
The sky is blue.
Cut the line.
Make a star.
Stop! Storytime.
Too soon!
And soon, the patterns
Tell us how to think,
To feel.
Too soon
The originals are gone,
And in their place
The pattern
Of a single face!
