I don't know why it did not let me write it here... but here you go I got a 100% on my essay!

each morning i wrote my name

in capitals on the backs of chairs,

practicing signatures like scales

while mother followed squirting

linseed from a burping can

if i was falling raindrop:

1. land safely (pretty sure that’s a tough one)

2. wished that time slowed down

3. a beautiful ending
