A Poem for Today

SUDDEN CURES: THE GYMNASIUM A certain school gymnasium never knew how to rejoice with the students. Its floor sat crossly as the sneakers ran across it, and its walls wouldn’t shake when the kids shouted. It was a thoroughly listless gymnasium. But one day the sweetheart world outside shone in through all the windows, and the gymnasium saw the celebration that’s always happening everywhere. That afternoon the boys and girls broke records as they ran on the cheerful floor.
