About School (2)

Part 2 : This is about the boy who discovered the strange nature of the school.

When he started school he brought it with him.
Not to show anyone, but just to have it with him like a friend.
It was funny about school.
He sat in a square, brown desk like all the other square brown desks
and he thought it should be red.

And his room was a square, brown room.
Like all other rooms.
And it was tight and close.
And stiff.

He hated to hold the pencil and chalk,
with his arm stiff and his feet flat on the floor, stiff,
with the teacher watching and watching.

And then he had to write numbers.
And they weren't anything.
They were worse that the letters that could be something if you put them together.
And the numbers were tight and square and he hated the whole thing.

The teacher came and spoke to him.
She told him to wear tie like all the other boys.
He said he didn't like them and she said it didn't matter.

After that they drew.
And he drew all yellow and it was the way he felt about morning.
And it was beautiful.
The teacher came and smiled at him.
"What is this?" she said.
"Why don't you draw like Ken's drawing?
Isn't that beautiful?
It was all questions.
