Under Size 11


It’s not like they were stars twinkling in the night sky, these were just various houses up on the hillside.  Bedroom and kitchen lights seen from a distance – poking through the darkness appear almost magical.  People were going about their lives, unaware that from across the valley, their neighborhood looked like a wondrous galaxy.  Although it looked alien from a distance, in the light of day it was simply a hillside of mortgage payments, plumbing problems and dinner tables full of homework assignments and leftovers.

An unseen infrastructure comprised of bosses, teachers and parents scurry just below the surface.  Seemingly important issues generate stress and often time chaos in a daily routine.

Perhaps similar to a world explored by astronauts, unnoticed systems are crushed underfoot as unimportant rock samples are tossed into collection bags to be examined once back on Earth.


Now there’s your homework assignment.
