Recess

Up on the old electrical box
With only fifteen minute talks
Only fifteen minutes for recess
You were allergic to zoysia grass

They said you were special
We weren't special, just self-obsessed

Two grades ahead
You weren't afraid
Of anything but the zoysia grass
Threatened with expulsion
In the office on compulsion
With a rash from the zoysia grass
Up on the old electrical box
Compare notes, be like the fox
Not good, but serious
About the threat posed by zoysia grass

I could have been furious
But I just recall accidentally skipping class
We dug a hole in the mud in the zoysia grass
Dug up teeth of imaginary mastodons
Won imaginary decathlons

They said you were special
We weren't special, just self-obsessed

Up on the old electrical box
Because you were allergic to zoysia grass
