being here poem
I sit on the steps of my scool near my class.The footfalls of my classmates fading slowly into the silence.It’s quiet now,and the only sounds I can hear are the water fountain buzzing away,just like the bunny in the energizer commerical.I look and the ground seems to me like a scrap book of the day,even though it just started.I see a food wrapper from the french toat we had this morning,and a pencil someone had dropped,on thier way to their first class.I smell the school smell.The smell of pencil shavings mixed with a hint of paste and with a slight undercurrent of pen ink.Not a veary enticing aroma,and yet a familiar one,one that has been with me since kindergarden( although the paste smell was a lot stronger).As i sit quietly and think,notice,accept just being her,thoughts and wories assail me .Will i get a good grade on the test next peiod? Did i finish my french homework?I quiet them down and then a new thohght comes to me.There is no better place to be than here.
