It occurs each August
a true f

from fantasy
t

reality

I cling onto the
green and blue of summer

As I p

black and grey of instructional technology

the white noise
of

Higher Learning Commission Accreditation Academic Standards Syllabus Criteria Assessment Critical Thinking Strategic Planning

has replaced
my sweet simplistic melody
of

wooden bats children’s foul ball footsteps the national anthem

Please Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Please Take Me Out
Please Take Me
