Vet your words carefully

simple-meaning

without metaphor or simile

Lose the articles, adjectives,

and adverbs

try to use symbols

Choose a small bit of paper

little more

than a scrap of trash

Hold the teacher’s attention

with your eyes

and your words

Then just let the note

slide. . .

and trust that he will find it.

Pamela Olson, 3/2/08
