Harvest Home
bettye t. spinner

In the ideal
it is a harvesting,
this work we do-
.......................

In the ideal
our classrooms fill, like...
life stories, heaped among the texts,
spill into the hallway of our schools,
crowd the sidewalks or the subways
or ride yellow buses home,
altering the form of knowing,
changing heads,
changing hearts
changing history,
bringing harvest
home.
