i mean it's not calm but the first five minutes
of chorus when everyone is cascading in
through the too-small doorway are my favorite & we,
always the first to sit down,
cluster & converse about
e v e r y t h i n g
that's happened to us so far in the morning, complain
about how much week we have left to go, make guesses
as to what question our teacher will ask us today,
what's for lunch & who's
getting our music folders and despite
the obvious lack of quiet there's a peacefulness in it,
in the way we laugh & gasp & wave excitedly hello.
