The Breakfast Club

Dear Mr. Vernon,
we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice
a whole Saturday in detention
for whatever it was we did wrong.
But we think you're crazy to make an essay
telling you who we think we are.
You see us as you want to see us...
In the simplest terms,
in the most convenient definitions.
But what we found out
is that each one of us
is a brain...
...and an athlete...
...and a basket case...
...a princess...
...and a criminal...
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,

The Breakfast Club.
