The girls drum their fingernails

Lightly

Not like real drumming

More like timid rain.

Their nails extend

Two nail lengths past

School’s great. I *love* waking up early  
to sit through hours of stuff I’ll forget.  
Lunch? A gourmet mystery I’ll never solve.  
Tests? Oh, the thrill of failing with style.  

Crying.

It’s something that all of us have done

At some point or another.

Yet it is a sign of weakness!?

And I say that is false.

FALSE

I say that it should be a sign of strength.

So

Heaven is a state of mind where all your fantasies are actualized.
