Hollow directives crash off walls

Stuttering girl chokes and coughs

Humidity coats my clothes

Drenches my heart

Which by now weighs more than a (the) cinderblock 

(That holds the classroom door ajar)

Fall is coming

And rain has already arrived. 

For all my joy, my smiles,

Dramatic little girl inside

Cannot wait for the tears and melancholy that Autumn graciously allows.
