There is a man,
Tied up
Letterers in the background,
The foreground,
All around,
They surround him.
Blindfolded on a typewriter,
Forced to write
Not what he believes
Not what he wants,
Though he writes
Blinded by another’s thoughts.
The writing,
The letters,
They consume him
He struggles to see a way out,
Though he can’t see,
Blindfolded,
He writes.
A continuous spiral
Never ending,
Corrupted by thoughts that aren’t his.
There is a man,
Tied up
Always writing.
































![JV boys soccer goalie sophomore Bear Brummett does a goal kick. Normally, Brummett plays defense, but when starting goalie sophomore Kurt Schratweiser missed a match due to illness, Brummett was thrust into the role. “[Brummett] did a great job, especially considering he hadn’t played the position in so long,” Head Coach Casey McDonough said.](https://spschronicle.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/image2-1200x800.jpg)
