Reading some homework The day seems like artwork Has the sky ever been so blue Three guys toss a frisbee perilously near me shirtless boys silhouetted in turquoise We’ve got our shades on We pretend not to watch em’ But we know they’re putting on a show. We’ve got fold up recliners and we set a timer to move to the shade in a minute or two But the sun seems distracted cooler and less radioactive dozens of students are out on the quad The trees aren’t just standing the breeze has them dancing to ‘Blood in the Cut’, a song by ‘K.Flay’ On this cool, near-fall holiday We’ll while our day away each of us claiming a chance to relax Now that we’re juniors, we know the facts We get that there’s still a lot of reading to do but we know, we can have a little fun too. What else would you expect us to do?

Hello Anais (lovely name) I really enjoyed reading your poem. It was a fun read and great writing. Reminds me of the lyric ’Girls just wanna have fun!’ too like Tom says. I love the last line. Thank you for sharing.

"Girls just wanna have fun..." Ya know, we always suspected you gals were looking but pretending not to. Guys aren't quite so subtle ;)

Na-na-na-na-na-na, I like what’s playing on the speaker Anais, But the sun seems distracted, cooler and less radioactive I like that line too, so what else would I expect yous to do, play more of the same of course, sounds like a great day, nicely written and fresh, cheers David

Yes explicit version of course, it’s powerful stuff, I also listen to Taylor Momsen‘s, (pretty reckless), in fact any music that packs a punch!
