by 8th grader Jaime H. at Greeley Elementary in Chicago:
She fell.
She stood.
She fell then stood.
She fell then stood stronger.
She stood then fell.
She fell stronger, she stood stronger.
She stood then fell.
Then stronger she stood.
She fell.
AFTER JUARROZ' POEM:
I'm awake.
I'm asleep.
I'm dreaming that I'm awake.
I'm dreaming that I'm aslseep.
I'm dreaming that I'm dreaming.
I'm dreaming that I'm dreaming
that I'm awake.
I'm dreaming that I'm dreaming
that I'm asleep.
I'm dreaming that I'm dreaming
that I'm dreaming.
I'm awake.
Estoy despierto.
Me duermo.
Sueno que estoy despierto.
Sueno que me duermo.
Sueno que sueno.
Sueno que sueno
que estoy despierto.
Sueno que sueno
que me duermo.
Sueno que sueno
que sueno.
Estoy despierto.

A strangely affecting poem, shows how much you can do with just a couple of words. Interesting how it's so performative and how it leads to a slightly dark conclusion.
