Thinks & Inks
Sixth Hour Sirens
The siren
Bounces off the walls
Off the desks
Off the papers
It makes my skin crawl
But no one
Reacts
The class has heard this
Too many a time
It is a staple
Of having a high school
Downtown
But what bothers me
Is the faces
That I see
As I look around
That everyone just acts
As though everything is okay
That there isn’t
An ambulance
Screaming down the street
To save a hurting person
Who we’ll never meet…
