Ideas

If I were in school.

I would get my paper.

Crumpling, and tearing.

Compiling, and filing.

My room is covered in paper!

The paper is impatient.

I turn on the fan.

And the room becomes a fluttering mess.

I haven’t been in school in years.

But I still write and tear and crumple.

Even when the school bus passes by, without me.

And I’m still writing, alone.

I guess I’m writing for fun these days.

I guess that’s how we become poets…

With ideas like…

If I were in school.
