In the Beginning

“Sierra Center for the Preforming Arts”

The flyer said. I knew what it meant,

Having become used to the students’

Unique approach to spelling.

Most of them don’t know an adverb from a tomato,

Which is fun sometimes, because if they were to write,

“He tomato ran down the hall,” I would understand

Just fine. I am in the business

Of preforming, after all,

And it is an art.
