Stumbling through
Crying
Over useless things
Failing
Wailing
Slipping
Down the list
Tripping
Falling
Scraped knees
Bleeding on lined linoleum.
Pushed into place
Walking
Running
Behind paper fences
Yelling
Screaming
Down empty hallways full of people
Forcing
Despairing
Broken pencils and dirty erasers
Smudging
Everything together.
Erasing
Erasing everything away.
