Detention |
| Baseball bats and salivating mouths |
| In a square room, doors locked, once again I’m alone inside a crowd |
| A misplaced throw, a misplaced swing and everything unfolds |
| A microcosm of humanity, a microcosm of cold |
| The waves wash over another, anxiety, proximity, erupting from the chemistry |
| Of testosterone, isolated until the first fists fly |
| Instincts pushed to breaking points |
| Surging bodies, snapping joints |
| Two shoes lost inside a fray |
| Two socks on laminated hardwood, 360 degrees into harms way |
| A length of lead grazed the side of my head |
| As others fall and others leave and others show their vampire teeth |
| Two chunks from my neck |
| Four lips that drip with skin |
| Socks that slide as the blood runs down my shirt |
| Or over two strange chins |
| There is no way out of detention |
| Rage pushed a doorway down |
| Fear carried me past the last contusions hurled |
| At bodies on the ground |
| Dizzy, terrified, awake in sweaty skin |
| «Mom, I’m never going back to school again» |
