Ill I ...surrounds only me- There are four walls to every room and more than several rooms to every building. Each day i leave my home—a protective box aiding my personal needs. I walk to school upon a sidewalk of concrete blocks, crossing an asphalt slab once and awhile. My feet long to feel the sponginess of the tiny blades of grass. I notice a seedling fighting its way up through an unending crack in the pavement. I plod on to my destination and wonder why slabs grow faster than grass, flowers, and trees within our environment. Farther along i am confronted by a technological monster . . . boxes on wheels. Several cars pass me by emitting noxious fumes into the air i breathe, as i wait for the traffic light to give me permission to move. Looking around the picturesque area broken by clouds of billowing grey smog i wonder why factories composed of more walls are allowed to pollute in order to produce their packages. Streams and lakes are along my path, but the trash and oil make them look more like garbage pits. I notice rows of cliche buildings, united by a purpose, rather than a reason, as i drift through town. Shop windows carry disposable signs with notices of sales on items bottled, bagged, and boxed. I realize that our small inhibited town strives to move forward. As i near the completion of a routine trip i pause to notice the parallel houses differing only because of individual prestige. Near my destination i stop to talk with friends about the night ' s activities. One friend confronts me and exclaims, Jack and Jill broke up! I realize it might as well be on the boob tube since everyone will know by the end of the day. I reconsider and conclude that some people live beyond the exterior of four sided objects. As i go on down the block i pass a pole mounted in a cement square with the flag of my country waving proudly in the wind, wondering if the energy crisis, the fighting, the money, Nixon, . . . are all worth it. I have my pride! My walk is interrupted by steps. I stop and as i look up, i come upon a huge building with an air of uncertainty lingering about the area. As i skim the tattered and wooden paned windowed walls of the institution, i happen upon a label—George Rogers Clark High School . . . this is my destination.
