Sarah Glen--



An artist bored in her classes
Scribbling and erasing on her desk
Once in a while, adjusting her glasses

Drawing both heroes and assassins
2d characters practicing their arabesques
An artist bored in her classes

Thoughts slip away as she detaches
Her hair’s a mess, a wreck
Once in a while, adjusting her glasses

Drawing on detailed lashes
Hands completed, check
An artist bored in her classes

Not paying attention as she advances
Her pencil scratching on paper “ech”
Once in a while, adjusting her glasses

Her talent surpasses
Anyone else’s who objects
An artist bored in her classes
Once in a while, adjusting her glasses
