i fall asleep
in class one day

she yells
and sends A NOTE home.

THE NOTE
is under
my bed.

i dont want my mom
to s e e.
but if she doesnt call my teacher
then the t e a c h e r
will have a conference.

so i walk in
clutching
the stupid letter
and e x p l a i n
in one
quietmumblingquickbreath.

my mom
hugs me
and makes
tea.

then she teellls me

get more sleep
but n o t in class.

and we finish our t e a a n d g i n g e r s n a p s.
