A millionbillionwillion miles from home

Waiting for the bell to go. (To go where?)

Why are they all so big, other children?

So noisy? So much at home they

Must have been born in uniform

Lived all their lives in playgrounds

Spent the years inventing games

That don't let me in. Games

That are rough, that swallow you up.

And the railings. All around, the railings.

Are they to keep out wolves and monsters?

Things that carry off and eat children?

Things you don't take sweets from?

Perhaps they're to stop us getting out

Running away from the lessins. Lessin.

What does a lessin look like?

Sounds small and slimy.

They keep them in the glassrooms.

Whole rooms made out of glass. Imagine.

I wish I could remember my name

Mummy said it would come in useful.

Like wellies. When there's puddles.

Yellowwellies. I wish she was here.

I think my name is sewn on somewhere

Perhaps the teacher will read it for me.

Tea-cher. The one who makes the tea.

'lessins' and 'glassrooms'

It amuses me, giving an understanding and impression that this indeed is a child thinking. The words are misheard variations of 'lessons' and 'classrooms' that the speaker misinterpreted and built on a thought process on from that. I find the child's whimsy and innocence oddly comforting and relating at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
millionbillionwillion miles from home

This word is made up which is unnatural but is showing how far the author thinks the school is away from home, probably because of the fatigue he suffered from walking from home to school, which is exaggerated in the poem.

"Perhaps they're to stop us getting out"

It is a bit shocking as from all the other lines, the child has wild imagination and sometimes it makes it seem as the child is not serious and naive. But this sentence made me realise that the child has consciousness too and makes me feel bad as now its like the child is trapped.

# data[].attributes.body
"lessins" as it sound childish, something that children think is scary and the word shows that it is from a children's mind.

I wish I could remember my name. It is uncommon to not know your name, let alone forget it, even at a young age. Plus, the writer had to rely on a teacher to read out their name.

"I wish she were here"

It made me feel a little bad since the child seems lonely and just longing for him/her mother but the child knows that she cannot be there for him/her. Which hits hard when someone longs for another but cannot have.

I wish I could remember my name: It is very intriguing how a child would not know his name and is almost impossible to have trouble remembering his own name unless he is too young or have other disabilities to cause him to have trouble remembering his name. He is lost in his own world unaware of anything. Thus that specific sentence really catches my eye.
