Under-Boldened, Over-Burdened
Kylee's like a Miniature backpack
filled with candy and
perfectly sharpened pencils.
Her smile is larger than even her heart
which must be the
largest organ
on her person.
Alternately,
Ms. Cofer presents herself as
a vacuum-packed bag of
rehydrated onions,
curling one leg under her rear-end,
the
other, barely touching the floor
just waiting to burst forth
with either the sugar or
a monocotyledonous plant of the genus Allium,
depending on the day.
