Perfect Son
(Poetry Night Selection) BY John Martin Peters ’13 The model child, the perfect one, With hair always tidy and smile bright as the sun.

Fatigue…
(Poetry Night Selection) BY John Yoon ’13 5’O clock afterschool I lay in bed, My eyes blood red, Off I go ready to streamline my chimerical rainbow sled.
