Harold. (A way to understand the world)

A poem by The Anthony G. Saldana Memorial Sanatorium

Birds
1. The one outside my window
2. The one that makes the sound "Clack Clack"
3. The one with wings that go so fast.
4. The old one that is no longer around.
5. The red one with the sweet song.
6. The dead one my cat brought in.
Houses
1. White with a picket fence, a dog, and a mother.
2. White with a picket fence, a dog and a crying baby.
3. White with a picket fence, a cat, and a single man.
4. White with a picket fence and a small girl in the front jumping rope.
5. White with no fence
6. White with red trim and a badly kept yard.
7. Blue, like the sky on a good day.
Smiles
1. Wide, and full of joy.
2. Small, with laughter.
3. Forced.
4. Sly, and suspicious.
5. No smile.
Today's tasks
1. Finish the floor.
2. Start the walls.
3. Add a secret place.
4. Join in a game.
5. Lie
6. Maintain an acceptable amount of friends.
7. Ask Jean why she is so sad.
8. And back to the beginning.
