A feeling of being there
Yet a feeling from the past
Brought forth today by a simple event.
A wonderful feeling of light weight
I am once again young.

It wasn’t a tent at all, really, at least by today’s standards. Still, it was a wonder for my young self, 8 or 9 years old. It was a shelter, of sorts. A lean-to made of sticks, two old army ponchos, and a tarp on the ground. The best part was that we built it, we three. It was Dad, my brother, and myself with our hands, a hand ax, and some rope. As I took a moment to look at what we built, I was excited, making little hops, and a little bit afraid. It wasn’t just a shelter. It was to be my shelter for my first night under the stars.

It was only two days ago
Yet the joy still fills me.
We were immersed in study
I the teacher
They the students
Eager to learn
And they were eager.

For want of a 3 dollar part
the water flowed too fast
It no longer gurgled
or washed gently over the hands
It was filled with violence
Splashing out of the sink
Soaking everything on the counter
Running onto the floor.

Appalled, heart-broken, shocked
Angry, lost, unsure
Does any of it matter?
The president and others incited a riot
More, it was insurrection!
