hitch
raze
every
grade
school
hallway
is
a
waiting
room
stripped
of
its
clothing
.
in
this
one
,
the
dentist
will
not
see
you
now
.
he's
got
his
fingers
in
someone
else's
mouth
.
a
man
and
a
woman
hoist
up
their
hands
outside
. thumbs extended.
it's
hopeless
trying
to
hitch
a
ride
.
the
only
things
that
still
run
around
here
are
busses.
and
they
won't
stop
for
anyone
.
in
the
last
room
on
the
left
,
a
surfeit
of
students
flood
the
floor
with
their
sleeping
forms.
there's
a
pen
in
every
colour
uncapped
on
your
desk
and
nothing
pure
for
any
of
them
to
bleed
on
.
only
you
.
