Red construction paper
and the nostalgic smell of white glue-
Valentine's day at school, of course.
The week of -
a cardboard box
covered with white paper
and hearts
with a slit in the top
sat poised to gobble up our
love offerings.
I guess from our youngest years
we were conditioned to
put it in writing.
Still, come recess,
it was everyman for himself
and everyone fought for
the front of the line.
