three no. 2 pencils,
sharpened,
lined in a row.
and so it begins.
next to a wallet,
with i.d.,
and car keys.
and so it begins.
an admission ticket,
a reporting time,
to test what you know.
and so it begins.
a, b, c or d,
little pencil bubbles ...
stepping stones to your future.
and so it begins.

*to Nicholas, on the morning of his ACT

Best of luck to Nicholas. Ideas for college? Future?
Anch'io voglio augurare a Nicholas buona fortuna per un futuro meraviglioso. So che sei molto bravo a scuola e sono certa che sarai molto bravo in qualsiasi cosa deciderai di fare.
PS: vedessi cosa c'è sulla scrivania di Chiara!!!! però non ha ancora le chiavi della macchina e per questo ti invidia molto.
I took my son to both of his tests, ACT and SAT, but I remember little of those early mornings. Such a sweet idea to document it with a poem.
