Jill

so there is this girl named Jill.
shes better than me.
in every single way.
except when it comes to directions.
or getting away with things.
or doing her hair.
or getting a date.
but i suppose she doesnt care about those things.

not like i do.

she is brilliant you see.
always does her homework.
always gets the right answer.
always remembers.

Not like me.
I forget.
my mind twirls.
hers is right on.

last night she wore her chemistry shirt.

a green t-shirt with quotes from her teacher and the periodic table on the front.
the green complimented the red in her hair.
but the rest of it made no sense.
i never took chemistry.
only four years of art.
