[A long pause, and a dot where her pen rests against the page. Then written slowly and neatly:]

Is that from Mrs. Garrison?

revengeisbitter November 21 2009, 03:35:59 UTC

Yeah. How'd you know?

payback November 21 2009, 03:36:59 UTC

Isn't it obvious?

revengeisbitter November 21 2009, 03:49:13 UTC

I don't think deciphering handwriting is part of the course requirements.

[Trying to think of who you might be.]

What are you going to write?

revengeisbitter November 21 2009, 04:43:05 UTC

Cheating?

payback November 21 2009, 04:50:15 UTC

Curiosity. [There are so many other kids in the class who hate poetry. =/ He doesn't stand out.]

revengeisbitter November 21 2009, 04:57:06 UTC

[but he's a special snowflake] I'll write what it's about. Weak people always lose.

payback November 21 2009, 04:58:04 UTC

[Raises an eyebrow at the page.] I see.

revengeisbitter November 21 2009, 05:35:05 UTC

It's obvious.

payback November 21 2009, 05:36:51 UTC

I disagree.

revengeisbitter November 21 2009, 06:04:00 UTC

Go on.

I think it's about how people are cruel to each other. All of these people have experienced cruelty at the hands of others, some of them have had their dreams and faith in change crushed by [A slight pause.] simple, sometimes unconscious, sometimes deliberate cruelty. Usually it's thought of as white people having had the upper hand, but this poem even includes them in the first line. If it's about the weak losing and suffering, we're all weak. [Pause.] A representative from every group experiences it. We're all united in that suffering and misery

revengeisbitter November 21 2009, 06:24:20 UTC

[pause, then he carefully underlines 'mighty crush the weak']

That's wrong. If we were all weak, this world would be balanced. But it isn't. There are strong people and there are weak people. And there are plenty who get by without suffering.

payback November 21 2009, 06:32:09 UTC

Even if you think you're strong, you can always find someone who can hurt you. You can never make yourself invulnerable.

revengeisbitter November 21 2009, 07:05:59 UTC

You can make it so others can't hurt you.
