lyrics

that the school building has an older section
once used, so long closed that no one even
remembers how to find it - they sense - as a dog
smells the known hand upon a doorknob

they might walk in tall wooden spaces and
down corridors, light filtered dimly through
iron glass and chalk dust, all resolved into
crumbling concrete overgrown with vines

for now pencils scratch like mice in walls
and they are taught the possible, even
while the sumac bushes rust completely
under the course of one afternoon's sun
