every day

zombies walk

lifeless eyes

crushed spirits

fear

self-hatred

loathing

are the few

emotions

we have

soccer

youtube

golf

the only

things you

notice

hell breaks loose

in your classroom

you

don’t

see

“Sir, we

need you .”

you

become present

to us

the werewolves

move on

to easier prey

healing begins

in the silence

laughter returns
