The penguin

The penguin

A Poem by Christina Reed

Black trousers and a black shirt
I feel like a stuffy penguin
Out of order and out of place

Somehow my hair got greasier
Black and warm like an oilslick
More and more like the penguin
Shiny and leathery 
Curved and soft

I feel like a stranger
In this here classroom
Teacher
Why can't you just leave me alone

I want to do art
Do music
Do what makes me happy
History and chemistry 
Don't do much for me

What a unique first verse. You should always try to do what makes you happy, maths was my downfall, I hated it.

Beccy.
