oils

in the styrofoam

swirling furrowed bows of rain

giggle

like a little girl

pig-tailed

taking names in class

chaos

with a flip of switch--

"teacher, teacher,

turn it on"

catching that sweet little girl

dipping ends of tales in black.


"Circle yes or no."  She broke

the pencil, ending with no point.

"catching that sweet little girl

I see double meaning in that, hmmmmm....

It threw me back too, to primary school, a different one every three months - *brrrr* what a memory.  Anyway, hugs you sexy thing you, and keep writing, and I'll keep reading, even if I can't think of anything intelligent to say!

"oils

Karen...you know I'm smiling at this one.

I'm loving these memories of yours...keep 'em coming.

Love you, lady...
