Papergirl Scores Her Next Film

The other day for example she backpedaled
through one end of the playground's rainbow and out the other.

The kids went wild.
The afterglow made the six o'clock news.

She loves Bach - his tonal colors,
the grandeur, that sort of thing,

and she's been known to get carried away
with piercings.

Her old piano teacher
interviewed by the local cable station

couldn't say enough about her
to fill a ninety-second slot

though he did admit to missing her slender fingers
repeatedly.

She caught the bug to mix about a year ago.
Drank plenty of fluids, got plenty of rest.

Weighed in with a new life.
Used her paper money and some silver

to buy a mixmaster.
Now she's out there with her next film in the can and all that.
