Summer, class dismissed

Silence. Fall brings old echos

Earth High School awaits.

Some cliques linger on

Lunch spots shift. New friends, same mess

All superficial.

Seniors graduate

Monochrome memories shift

Freshmen seek color.

Student vacation

Summer school cancelled this year?

Only staff remain.

Halls present exits

Gyms clear of body order

Temporarily.

Bee Earthy!

Custodial cuts

Endeavoring maintenance

Unpretentious work.

*Creek!* Absence. Walls beg

Vacancy. Fainted sounds roar

Silence deafening.

Leaders take notice

Invest. Repair. Sustain. Now.

“For our children’s sake.”

Unforeseen events

Humans sheltering at home

Climate change? Forewarned.

50 years. Earth Day

Earth years? 4.5 billion

One planet. One home.
