brown-paper covered
smell of new copy books -
chalk scrawls the blackboard

CHALK AND DUSTER

in the wake of chalk and duster
knowledge confounded

a cave cut
in the hillside of mischief
a load of dynamite

shatters the status
of anything
that makes sense

the chattering
at recess pours in
after the bell

they giggle
whispering the scoop
from cupped hands

trying to drive
the teachers crazy
their splits

moonshine
island children sanction
anancy tales
