Red Town #8
spring is coming
spring is coming
at the boarding school
it is a canticle, year-end
recitation, Springfest, Tulip
Concert and they let them
out to the malls in honor
of their new haircuts
someone is rolling the chairs
down the hall and the anger
explodes behind the eyes
it's all another way
of saying lust, this substitute
for crying, it isn't singing
really; it's melting
all pirate boys and telltale
girls into the hallway
the hallway where they wait
to go on
You have penetrated to the crepuscular heart of the prep. Zing!
