Harky Actress At My School
Harky is a dramatic ten-year-old girl.
Intense with high drama, at a constant pace.
First story she wrote in first grade had seventeen exclamation marks.
Teacher complained at parent-teacher conference.
Mother laughed “Have you met her?” she asked.
I have met her.
I meet her a lot. I am the school counselor.
She rushes into my room on a regular basis.
Flops herself down and turns on her automatic faucet.
She could be an actress. She can turn tears on for a sandwich.
Sometimes I say “Turn the tears off. I don't have much time."
She can do this in about half a second.
I know she is going to make it In Hollywood.
I will be glad to see her there…..
instead of in my office.
