April 13th

We kiss light, we write long,

we press buttons that gather bright learning

We sleep late, we hold slow,

We rotate together across many floors

We speak to wise women in desked rooms

We sit on a couch, we sit in a chair

We hide in the bathroom with knees to our chest

We walk in green and gnat full evenings

We catch gnats and chat plans in our teeth

We are frightened and we are small

We kill kings and eat them with wine.
