The science teacher showed your writing

as an example in class today

and even though

he cut off the name, I knew

it was you.

The way you make your y's and f's

hasn't changed

The girls drum their fingernails

Lightly

Not like real drumming

More like timid rain.

Their nails extend

Two nail lengths past

If they didn’t last time why

Would they now

If last time the world was on fire

They put it out with water and wrote about it in the news and got themselves quoted
