My Eclectic Primer
By cadymae
My heart once gladdened at opening my McGuffey.
I was so little and
the world so big.
I thought of them as ever widening windows.
A neat little set which worked like a step stool,
a color coded
SRA from last last century
Now I heft my old set with sadness
and blow dust and think
of the innocence that was abraded away
by the knowledge gained.
