in honor of the return to work ...

miss wright, found

saying out of doorway
into mouth:
i do not know, child -
child, i do not know
sit down, child, or stand
make a mayhem
i cannot abide by
i cannot reside within
the high-pitched
docudrama of your violent
hair and sneakers.

miss wright, found out
of her mindful mouth
into a haunted hallway
of dead children
pre-dead
dressing for their funerals
grooming for their murders
doing their zombies down
the hallway outside the mouth
of madness
pressing their empty
breaths
against

miss wright, found in
the lunch line
Miss Wright, will you come to my funeral?
Miss Wright, will you come to my funeral? miss
wright, found breathing
out-mouth cataclysm
breathing
i do not know, child
and
child, i do not know.
