lucky

"the first day of classes
and no ms. kathleen,"
read the monday morning
email from the principal
of new song academy.
"i hope liam realizes
how lucky he is to have
you all to himself."



i am the lucky one.

i DO think of the shorties
and what they are doing
and how they are treating
their new teacher.
i wonder if ny-ny is
still being a leader in
the classroom,
or if my baby-kitten-shortie
is still playing class psychologist.
i hopehopehope that shay finally
decided to use her powers for good
and not evil...

and mostly, i pray
that they are taking care of each other.
