The sheets of paper
he left on the floor
before taking
a quick turn
must have been
his English coursework.

Flicking through it,
turning pages
from left to right,
right to left,
I could see
his neat blue
handwriting
on every page.

Placing it back
on the floor,
I remember
the weight of it
leaving my hands
and thinking,
“How will I ever
write
something like this?”
