School Lockdown Drill
For Danielle and Sarah, school librarians
Criss-cross, applesauce
This is how we read
Hey, hey, library day –
Books are all I need!
Criss-cross, applesauce
Sit with me a while
Right here, on the floor
How I like your smile!
Criss-cross, applesauce
Suddenly afraid
Doors locked, windows blocked
By a flimsy shade
Criss-cross, applesauce
Hiding in the gloom
Lights out, fear and doubt
In this silent room
Criss-cross, applesauce
How does childhood die?
Hush, hush! In the dark
Everything’s a lie
