Recess Access
what does it matter?
they don’t notice a boy
who hides in shadows
past their egress in a harrowing hallway
to the rear stairs no one takes at recess...
they could access to find him
acting out last night's episodes:
from dinner table to television fare
to the hero he needs be, for others
unselfishly, brazenly acting a colorful fool,
running down his street, blue blanket,
neck-tied
on the steps, quiet, but buzzing fluorescence,
where a tall wall rises to meet the same ceiling
lingers amid potent dust never cleaned
that he puts his face right on
to feel cool, smooth laminate, cheek-tacked
when the bell torments his reality returning.
why does it matter
that they don't notice a boy
alone in the shadows with fears
blocking egress to their escape
to any exit that will do, to recess, access
