Sudden
Sixth graders watching the Guiness Book of World Records'
longest conga line of dogs
because it's five minutes before dismissal on a Friday
and why not?
Two simultaneous responses
one from a girl
one from a boy
"Aww, it's a puppy choo choo train!"
"Yeah, they's doin' it doggie style"
Cusp of twelve:
the hold of innocence tenuous
against gale force winds

The innocence of childhood is getting seemingly less innocent.
This was a good write.
A deep thinker.

Thank you, Debbie. It's sad to see kids robbed of their childhoods earlier and earlier.

Interesting. At the 6th grade level, the boy or girl may have said either. Cool poetry.

Thank you. I agree with the could be either. I had one girl in my class say pussy willow, apropos of nothing, about 20 times one day.
