Monday Morning

I walk down the stairs
Through the gassy doors
Just to take in the morning air.
8:15

I walk down the stairs
Slugging my backpack behind me
Walk past the cold clear doors
Just like I did before
Breathing in the sunny clear skies
I walk down hard brown shapes
And turn my least favorite way,
The un right way.
8:21

As I walk up 1st street
I overhear people mumbling
I watch emo kids looking at people
But when I look forward
I see the rush of people
and that’s when I know it’s time for school.
