sweetheart of the song tra bong

It was the best day in February yet. The students were sick of waiting on sidewalks - we rushed the streets and the cars all stopped to wave us on, one hand out the window - and we charged up the pathways - we were ready to take it all on. We split into lines and flooded up stairs and brick edged with marble. Boys coming down a metal ramp sang "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" to the sky. We stayed in our winter coats but left them unzipped. Our heds were up, eyes straight ahead - if we weren't all happy, at least we were all ready. Today is the day we go for it.
