liNed pAper, wide rULed. scHOOL

while they worked_ i wrote.

----
a few weeks ago
or so
i say
----


sitting like a seagull perched
between passion, persistence pencils
and pULsE,

rubbers distraught,
temples tic.
knees bounce,
pages turn.

a new life with a blink-a-breath,
equations wait.
weigh the odds.
silence piercing
ringing
scREAmINg

like her inner r a g e.

Tids. eyes. heavy.
as are our shoulders.

i was once she.
her.
as me.
doubt in the grain.

led
astray.
