about

i have been teaching grammar lately
thought about writing a song including some nice ELA terms

lyrics

there's a journal inside your mattress
you write things down lie spine to spine
you close your eyes pull covers up
they're unfleshed they're unrefined
you play with syntax
try to design
an honest rhyme, articulate
try to link together lines
pretend the grammar is just fine

but there's no subject verb agreement
you say sleep, you stay up
you're not concerned with passive voice
when actions were enough
to exact by me
exact by her
reach out to your muses, your dreams deferred and hope for
holy hoped for
angels passing bloody doors
you disrespect connected dots
now they're crawling across your floor
and you pause
