today

a grey, old sky

the pounding light confronts my closed eyes

uncontrollable laughter and whispering

among a group of

people

competitive kids talking trash

conforming, without knowledge or consent deep potholes in the salty road for a

big yellow bus

wipers clean the windshield

thrown to the floor;

a sparkly tin gum wrapper.

ignorance is bliss.

(this was an "unplanned collaboration" from my poetry class. each kid wrote a single line or phrase and we all had to make our own poems by scrambling them and changing certain things)
