As I amuse
It begins in a whistle A Pause Between all wrapped up In the sweets The gray skies The heat All the false pretenses that smother The ammonia floors the potted bougainvillea outside the door It becomes Monday all over again That is no longer mine as I walk around my windowless room The rails that board every window In my school the walled up halls Everything is no longer like the Mondays And I could no longer see The distance The dotted up children Under the red painted Roofings Or the familiar faces In gray skirts The white undershirts The fall of notes all the longing the verses the fullness.
