The funnel is a green and blue slide that rocks you so hard, It makes you feel like you are going to tip over. I wasn't quite sure if I was more excited or nervous. More screams came from the funnel.

Billy Collins Essay

A Somber Geniality Art is purely a matter of perspective as influenced by perception. It teaches us empathy and challenges us to become aware of our place in the world in the context of others. Billy Collins fulfills that role and is unique among poets in that he does just that with a bit of flare; he brings us into his arms with beckoning only to shake and rattle us once we’re in.
