Down the Hallway

Down the Hallway
by me(whatever)
9-19-13

The girl playing hangman,
in her physics notebook.
dotting the eyes without flourish,
she watches with a bored expression,
as the stick figure sways to and fro.

The girl down the hallway,
stops to stare at the construction.
The kids gab, and clinging to their fatuous rings
Hardly notice
as they step through cold air.

That girl in the locker,
curled like a gift to be opened.

The girl from the ceiling,
quietly whines like a record on replay.
Observing the flies buzzing contentedly,
she casually reaches out,
smearing one across the horizontal wall.
