You are a public class that everyone audits
Each slice of you remains a lesson
The observer is busy making behaviour edits
The observed will leave their impression
Respect the gaze of children; they know how to see
We are teaching by our existence
Tomorrow’s normal is today’s complacency
A museum of small acts’ insistence
There’s no opting out of your own exhibition
Everyone browses for their own cues
Influence is ambient, becomes tradition
Good or bad, it somehow all accrues
Another write inspired by a David Elikwu newsletter.
