Just is…
Saints
Peter and Paul Catholic School
St.Thomas
US Virgin Island
nuns rule
intimidation normal
everything
in its place
place for
everything
cleanliness
next to Godliness
uniform white
short sleeve cotton blouse
navy blue pleated
gabardine jumper
white cotton
socks
lace up black
leather shoes
quiet
student earn good grades
did not
speak until spoken to
imagine
walking with school shoes on
Magens Bay
white sand beach beneath
coconut
palms sea grapes mahogany trees
fly between
hills above Atlantic Ocean
sit on
white puffy clouds take off
land in
crystal clear aquamarine water
float swim
dive variety of birds
dot sky
brown pelican red tailed hawk
belted
kingfisher fit into my secret life
school shoes
stay dry look new
no miracle
no fairy tale
just is…
