第四首 shes a better poet
once upon a time a girl went to another stateshe thought that she was only staying for three monthsonly there did she realize that this sojou would be endlessshe met a girl by picking up her pencil and saying “you’re wele”but only after a year did they bee buddiesthey went to malls together on friday
they went to the punahou fair with their friendthey went to her church to sing psalms
pared to her friend the girl didn’t talk muchshe had intelligence only in appearancethe girl had a brother who was a model
on chinese festival they went to a parade at downtownshe posed in front of the stores named “ross”she dared her to photo bum the spectatorsbut the girl tried and failed
even though her friend didn’t get straight aseven though her friend didn’t know all the words that she knewbut she was a better poet
her poems told no stories
but her poems were waggish and convivialher poems made mrs maiii cry
it was last year’s valentine that the girl departedbut upon farewell she couldn’t find her friend in the crowdher poems once blossomed
but they soon withered
