PAD 14 Exploration

Chase Ketchikan

Chase Ketchikan until it catches you
Unlike the harsh Alaska you may think
No polar bears or snow to your wazoo
Chase Ketchikan until it catches you
With temperatures 40 to 62
 A place with nature you can feel in sync
Chase Ketchikan until it catches you
Unlike the harsh Alaska you may think
 And everywhere you’re treated to a view
Chase Ketchikan until it catches you
Where you can zipline, fish, hike, and canoe
Where air and sea acts as the transport link
Chase Ketchikan until it catches you
Unlike the harsh Alaska you may think

Exploring a new tool

Her granddaughter taught her to use a mouse
“Point and click, Nana, it’s easy”
At first she stuck to the email account her son set up
“We can keep in touch, Mom, its so much faster
than mail and cheaper than long distance”
She began to branch out when her friend mentioned Facebook
“You wouldn’t believe who’s on there, Honey,
I found my boyfriend from 1959”
But it wasn’t until she started exploring on her own
that she began to hear new voices
A Georgian YouTuber her age who told stories of his radio DJ days,
and partnered with innovative kids to foster new ideas
“I have been amazed at the creative and talented people I have met”
She discovered brother nerds who encouraged their Twitter followers
“Imagine each other complexly, truth resists simplicity”
She found a community of British, Bengali and Israeli kids
and helped inspire them to change their world
by choosing to bond, to see through each other’s eyes
“If I can learn to point and click and connect, we can all learn
to join our voices in demanding a better tomorrow.”
