Now it's here.
Our pale skin lingers
Beneath something (which smells of cat pee),
And half asleep we meander
Sucking on dreams
Of umbrellas and
- The bell rings -
Perfection.

Forty-five minutes x seven.
Slipping and sliding
Over desks and walls, "due-dates" and "detentions"
Essay not done, lips tightened,
Our brains leak
"Stuff" and... "things"
On lined paper with
Fullstops at the end.

And here's the end arriving now.
Our eyes wide and breathy
We yell, scream, laugh, shove (and throw mandarins)
Us. Juveline. Insane. Educated.
Then the wind
And the cold
And rain
Propels us home.
To live.

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?

this is scool to me. absolutely 100% it.

as long as we laugh out loud, laugh like we're mad. because this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have.

I understand that one that sounds just like school for me to. I think that, that poem needs nothing. I liked the poem.

Hehe, thanks you two.
I didn't even try to be dark. It's just good ole school.
