THEY KNOCKED THE SCHOOL DOWN, SO THIS HAPPENED ONLY IN MY MIND
Walking out of school today,
last time,
I stared down at yellow-grated
stairs of
loading dock, just as I had
promised to do
when,
staring down, I first walked in
35 years before–a day
like all days,
surprised by the
sun,
I sneezed.
Done.
A life.
