The boys in my class

The agony of the human race

simple creatures

snickering at my poetry 

banging their fists against their heads

stalling work

reading mushy parts of books they pretend not to enjoy

saying stupid things

messing with the table

"why not"

"bro"

"the table just moved and I thought I was falling over"

chucking pencils at me

"was that my pencil"

"bro"

W is LeBron James

B is annoying

G is looking over my shoulder very uncomfortably

Making fun of each other

and me

giving me the title of 
Most Annoying Girl

"life could be a dream

wake up"

he won't stop talking in cryptic messages

french fries bookmark

scratching their heads

I think they have lice

oh wait no

it's dandruff

and they admitted it

at least they're painfully honest

G is a gnome now

now he's Batman

aka a robber

I am very concerned

  • Love language

    Duet

    starting together ending together

    weaving around each other's sound

    adapting tuning

    instinctively fitting into the tone

    the way we want to do this

    the contrast

    played so perfectly

  • Sleigh ride

    Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too

    F F F F F G F-D Bb C D C-A G F-

    imitating the human voice with instruments

    percussion back there repeatedly hitting the sleigh bells

  • Family

    I showed my grandmother my keyboard

    she took six years' of lessons when she was younger.

    Her fingers found the keys -

    she could still read -

    just enough

    just a little.

    I pulled out my flute-piano duet book
