Some examples:

Kids’ Ideas About Love
“Lovers will just be staring at each other and their food will get cold.
Other people care more about the food.”.
Brad, age 8

The Language Barrier
“Please do not feed the animals.
If you have any suitable food, give it to the guard on duty.”.

On the runway

2006-10-04

Oh be the music in my head,
the air around my bed, oh be my rest.
Replace the small disgraces of
the times and places that I never really left.

Did you leave the darkness without me?
You’re always miles ahead.
And you’re standing in tomorrow on the runway.
