Where the Steps Were

Where the Steps Were by Andrea Cheng
Verse from the perspectives of five students in Miss D.'s third grade class details the children's last year together before their inner city school is to be torn down.
ANTHONY
Cinderella!
Nobody forgot
their lines
and those stepsisters
were wicked.
You can't believe
all the clapping
in 103.
We had to come out and bow
four times
before they stopped....
