In Trouble

5 double-sided pages
of handwritten notes
first he writes

“I will not fight my classmates”
all the way across the top
then he writes

‘I will‘ half-way
down the page
then he writes

‘classmates‘ half-way
down the page
then he writes

‘fight‘ all the way
down the page
then he writes

everything else
almost the same way
I did, when I was 10.
