Day 40 - High School (poem)

HIGH SCHOOL

This dusty old
house is haunted.  I rarely visit,
but when I do, terror
always rears its head.  Like a hydra
ready to strike
it is

overwhelming.

These poltergeists
are quiet most of the time.
But when they have their Breakfast
Club it is in my hallways
and I cannot escape
the pain of it.

In time
a truce is drawn again
between strength and memory,
but those goddamned ghosts
will not be
exorcised.
