7 Minutes

ring
the doors
of cavernous classrooms
retch forth wretched minds,
the halls reeling and roaring
as vicious voices crescendo and cascade.
with a crash bang clang studies transform;
steel mouths bare green graffiti foaming fangs and
swallow binders, pens, then heave the next sick subject
into the aimless arms of the fleeted feet
that rush when the second ring shatters
through the smoky glass corridors, and
the silky sickly scarlet screaming.
the jaws close shut
and once again
I remain,

alone
