the high school labyrinth

gray0328

 

lockers slam like thunder in the air  

a sea of bodies moving without rhythm  

faint cologne and pencil shavings mingle thick  

the bell yells louder than anyone’s stories  

 

whispers crawl through the cracks of the walls  

worn sneakers squeak against scuffed tile floors  

hands clutch bags like shields on tiny battlefields  

the smell of cafeteria pizza haunts every corner  

 

eyes dart like dragonflies between the crowds  

some search for friends, some dodge the gazes  

the fluorescent lights buzz like restless thoughts  

dreams and fears scribbled in notepads stay hidden  

 

the hallway stretches longer than any math class  

laughter crashes like rivers against locker doors  

each step, an echo of both freedom and dread  

the hum of voices ends, till it begins again

    Ending of class for the day or holidays it shows the scuffle and clatter of kids in a hurry to leave. And so it is with all of us whether office, road, or shop we all seem in a hurry to leave. Well done Gray
