A girl

In the elementary school

Had to walk around

In an old grey T shirt

Way to big for her

Because

A sliver of skin

Not much thicker than my thumb

Was showing

And the teachers

at all, 

1, 2, 3, 4, 

all go in and out the other side, 

it's always been this way, 

kindergarten and getting in trouble because I could not solve,

2 minus 5. 

In a dew-drop, a little world exists 

A place turned blue and silver by the light 

That lingers well beyond the morning mist. 

In a dew-drop, a little world exists 

someone hear me

please, little gods, 

whoever is listening, 

whoever hears the echo, 

someone

hear me. 

i have enough 

caffeine 

in my blood

to kill a cow,
