Some Days ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Some days this school is a huge concrete sandwich squeezing me out like jam. It weighs so much breathing hurts, my legs freeze my body is heavy. On days like that I carry whole buildings high on my back. Other days the school is a rocket thrusting right into the sun. It’s yellow and green freshly painted, the cabin windows gleam with laughter On days like that whole buildings support me, my ladder is pushing over their rooftops. Amongst the clouds I’d need a computer to count all the bubbles bursting aloud in my head.
