The Mouth Of The School by Nadine Sellers

engulfs waves of green, yellow and red children
toward the sewer which leads to sanitary stations
where individuals and lost instincts flourish
in a cacophony of senses lost to the high ceilings

masters, mastering honor and homogeneity
rustle noisy paper above schoolchildren
above screams of recognition and rebellion
in the cells of law and conformity

pink skirts and little red hoods
well seated on sterilizing benches
respond to questions and rules
blowing pencil dust

with no further reflection
