"Hey, your backpack is really heavy!"
my friend shouts from across the classroom.
If only he knew
how its weight is incomparable to the one inside
how pain and grief and anger and loss
cannot be measured by mere pounds, but by metric tons.
"You really fit a lot of things in here, huh?"
Oh...if only you knew...
