High School- a Poem in Two Voices
Acing a TEST, KISSING on the BEACH
Drunk dad calls me GARBAGE, INSTINCT is to RUN,
Dance after the big GAME,
FIGHT after the big game.
Sleeping in PEACE, gentle wind OUTSIDE
Wind of DROUGHT BROUGHT no rain, the farm is failing
The crowd shouts, “BRAVO!” after my ELEGANT recital–life is perfection!
Dad throws me against a TREE, drunk once again.
My boyfriend sits OPPOSITE me at lunch, love in his eyes.
Another INSULT; this time I strike back. Dad hits his head and stares blankly.
I think everyone would AGREE–high school is the best time of our lives.
Bad lawyer, JURY brings back ’Guilty” verdict–high school was the worst time of my life.
