Without Structure

By Dylan Scroggins, Northwest Middle School

Loud. Smelly. Cafeteria Pizza.
Rushing and walking and talking.
Laughing and Silence.
Wondering aimless.
Walking with a purpose.
Students smiling.
Students.
Teacher.
Teacher yelling.
Why?

Me. Outside Band hall.
Smiling.
‘Y’all get to class.’
My words show growth.
Smile.
Greet each student.
Many names.
Smile.
Wonder why.
The years gave gone by.
Nostalgia.
What for?

Band hall. Loud. Cork Grease.
Trombone
Drone on a F.
Students listen.
Confusion.
Why?
Learning.
Red Book.
Is it fun?
Listen. Hear. Attention.
How?

Loud. Smelly. Band Hall.
Smiling.
Students listen.
Learning.
Students.
Teacher.
Teacher and Students.
Relationship in learning.
Growth.
In Time.
Smile.
