a dusting of frost
golden light of a low sun
solitary sparrow

morning
I'm in the bathroom
getting ready for school
(I'm late, as usual)
then realise it's only five a.m.
and besides,
I left school forty years ago
and I've changed my name
and gender since then.
Their records will be wrong
so no demerits for me.
