can’t there be a sense of positivity
that’s not sold the way soap is sold?

one that makes you
throw caution to the winds

makes you angle toward the seats
by the windows

lets you dare
to make the suggestion

to compare notes
with the one you thought it would be cool to compare notes with

in that sweet time
in that lull

between fifth period
and home room
