In Her Binder
The spirited student’s three-ring binder, in its responsible organization,
is—at first glance—juxtaposed to the spontaneous personality of its owner.
However, the bearer of the binder is later realized to have reflected that responsibility
in the various pencils that she lends—which are never seen again—
in the papers that she donates for the sake of her fellow students—
only to be contributed to their own binders—
and in her ever on-time homework.
This idyllic paradoxical blend of responsibility and energy,
that transcends even a loose-leaf container,
belies the studious, yet entertainingly extemporaneous.
