last day of school

on the last
day of school
on the last bus
ride before going
home for summer
many of the kids
would throw their
notebooks and papers
out the windows
creating a snowstorm
of loose leaf
paper and binders
and pens, and erasers.
most of these kids
were the ones
who never studied
anyway, so it was
strange and symbolic
how they ended
the year the way
it started and carried
through.
very little went home
on any day.
