Leslie Odom Jr.
From A New Angle
[Cole, spoken]
I was dazzling
I zigged
I zagged
I turned at angles no model sail boat has ever turned before

[Paige, spoken]
Ahhhh
What’s that?
What did you just say?

[Cole, spoken]
Angles
I used angles!

[Paige]
Was it tough?

[Cole, spoken]
Not really

[Owen]
Subconsciously you knew enough

[Cole, spoken]
I did?
[Paige]
And sure it was a different path

[Cole, spoken]
I guess

[Owen]
But Cole
Turns out that you did math
You turned that boat around
And won the sailing race

[Cole]
Geometry got me first place
From a new angle
I knew it
‘Cause I was able
To do it
Take that geometry
Who’s the captain now

[Paige]
Name this shape

[Cole]
Isosceles
[Owen]
Now turn the boat

[Cole]
Ninety degrees

[Molly]
[?] crossing the

[Cole]
Diameter

[Owen, Paige, & Molly]
Sail around

[Cole]
The perimeter
No excuse to be obtuse
I’m great like a hypotenuse
From a new angle
I’m free and
I feel almost Pythagorean

[All]
From a new angle
You’ll find a better way
[Molly]
From a new angle
I see now
Time to be done with the bean now
It isn’t me
Who’s the bean girl now

[Owen & Paige]
Look I see a whole new world is all around

[Cole & Molly]
Sometimes we need to find a different angle

[Paige]
I can reach for things like ten feet off the ground

[Owen]
How long has this potato soup been up there?

[Molly]
I took a different angle but I think you’ll like the shift

[Molly, spoken]
Meet Stuart
He’s a sewer dwelling wrong doer

[Molly]
Complex and yet accessible he has a certain gift

[Molly, spoken]
See
Burping is his weapon

[Molly]
Guess who’s gonna be published
In next week’s issue

[All]
From a new angle
[?] purpose to get back
(Cole: [?])

[Birdie]
My angle is I must stop
Letting squirrels nibble at my nut sock

[All]
From a new angle
Connected by our new view and perspective
From a new angle
Take a look around

Life is looking great
From a new angle
