Learning Day

Learning Day 2002

A child awakes

sense of scent tested

with breakfast

carefully or not prepared

Funny how we

humans

stake for granted

our memories

Every moment like a child

we grow

like time never old

always new

Learning is a process

We acquire…as order

of the universe

so too our senses

of taste

touch , feel

an’ need to know

skills

languages

skills

concepts

values

habits

instruments

in and out of institutions

hail Birmingham

home of the industrial revolution

from luna society to friends

here science and art

engaged genius

here we possess great resources

for centuries to come

we understand our precious resource

is the people not the buildings…

for this human source

proves more valuable

than megalithic structures

we erectmonuments

we neglectday of learning

in this human city living non-smoking

breathing diversity

kalidescope of colours

amazing soundstastes

feels and smells

hub of the midlands

where multilinguals

proclaim

victory over ignorance

accepting new experiences

as a child

never too old or proud

to feel smell taste

touch and know

in

and out of

virtual in reality
