Playing Your Beautiful Grade

you open the gateway
to black and white keys
that make beautiful sounds
and you press each one
from high note
to low note
but then you get
stuck in the
C section
and you don’t know
what comes up next
but you finally play the
B note
that you stay on for
a while
but since you
pay attention to your teacher
you finally reach
the A
and the gateway of
the black and white keys
closes and you walk away
from them
very proudly
because
you know that you have gotten smarter
