What are we but a product of our environment?
I biked to class in Berkeley last night. We are learning how to describe neighbourhoods and places and the locations of things relative to other things.
We learned "this is city hall"
and "what is across the street from city hall?"
Then, our teacher asked "what can you do at city hall?"
Pay bills. said the class.
Get death certificates. said the class.
I signed "protest. you can protest at city hall."
(I made my teacher laugh out loud. It *IS* Berkeley.)
And then she repeated my sign, carefully, so everyone could learn it. And then I biked home.
