第四首 she's a better poet
once upon a time a girl went to another state
she thought that she was only staying for three months
only there did she realize that this sojou would be endless
she met a girl by picking up her pencil and saying “you’re wele”
but only after a year did they bee buddies
they went to malls together on friday
they went to the punahou fair with their friend
they went to her church to sing psalms
pared to her friend the girl didn’t talk much
she had intelligence only in appearance
the girl had a brother who was a model
on chinese festival they went to a parade at downtown
she posed in front of the stores named “ross”
she dared her to photo bum the spectators
but the girl tried and failed
even though her friend didn’t get straight as
even though her friend didn’t know all the words that she knew
but she was a better poet
her poems told no stories
but her poems were waggish and convivial
her poems made mrs maiii cry
it was last year’s valentine that the girl departed
but upon farewell she couldn’t find her friend in the crowd
her poems once blossomed
but they soon withered
