Roll Call

subscribe to a list

so when checking attendance

your name is read aloud

for all to hear

ask questions

sit near the front of this

caged-in room

a classroom

DON'T TELL ME NO

and when I get home

I'll forget you

like all morning didnt happen

until the next time

they trap me

catch me

cage me

and read from the list

A to Z

and were not so far apart after all

the alphabet makes my heart beat faster
