SCHOOL
You're like a little wild thing
that was never sent to school
Sit, I say, and you jump up.
Come, I say, and you go galloping down the sand
to the nearest dead fish
with which you perfume your sweet neck.
It is summer.
How many summers does a little dog have?
Run, run, Percy.
This is our school.
~ Mary Oliver, 1935 -
