school sucks but at least ur friends are there, by Vanessa Mei Crofskey
u can only walk around the suburbs so often on bright days so hot
the concrete crackles n text ur friends at malls and fields and malls again
before u start to get bored of running
out of things to do &
miss the lush red first kiss of a fresh 1B5
and the girls in ur class with lip gloss scented stationery
& the boys who draw on their mates legs with sharpies &
also i guess learning new things every day
school sucks but all my friends are there
spreading colds as quick as climate change
no one shares germs with me in the holidays
in the holidays my outside voice wears jeans with grassy knees
& watches compilation youtube videos on the highest volume
& i walk around the suburbs on days so hot the ice block
drips down my wrist with sticky fingers it feeds the crackling concrete
