We are in an interagency meeting.
I had been reluctant to attend.
energetic Redhead Smart Mouth took over our table
Sat next to me
Reached for the communal project each time
Insisted on doing group project entirely on her own
Refused all suggestions
I gave up right away
Choosing to entertain myself in other ways
We are all teachers at this table
Others refused to relinquish their power
Best meeting ever
I was able to play the entire seven hours
Loving how quickly she riled the rest of them
In seven hours I wrote twenty-two poems
Designed six bulletin boards, wrote a play
And designed two book covers
Now I look for for Redhead Smart Mouth at meetings
