California Missions
Remember the California Mission assignment?
Fourth grade?
Parents in the parking lot
with their cardboard model
of the Santa Clarita Mission
that they didn’t make
entirely without help
from the child –
looking for endorsement –
comparing their hours
of sacrifice and cut fingers,
the expense of the board,
the strength of the glue.

I seriously love this! (What parent wouldn't?) Every word contributes meaning - and not a single one is wasted. Ending the 'the strength of the glue' is just brilliant.
