The following is a draft of a student's submission to a poetry competition. It contains errors.
I though about them again today.
The ones who grew up in a different town.
The ones who went to a different school.
The ones who took different risks.
The ones who made different choices.
They’re always happier than I am.
Those perfect,
continuous,
conditional,
mes.
