You are absent all too often
Where do you go?
What do you do when you sit home?
Are you home?
What is home like?
Do you wish you were at school?

You like to avoid.
What do you like to avoid?
What can I make you like?

Is it my business to intrude?
Should I know?
Should I show up at your door?
Should the counselor call again?

Would it matter if we tried harder?
What if it’s not all that severe?
Not ACS worthy, but problematic still.

Then what? Then who? Then how
do we get you to learn? To do?
