Lawrence Hall
Gearing Up for School
Which is Just Around the Corner
School is forever gearing up or winding down
And if school is not around the corner
Then summer takes that very same turn instead
With back-to-school sales beginning in June
Children wheedle their moms for the coolest sneaks
And shopping carts are heavy with pens in packs
Yellow pencils, notebooks, scissors, and glue
Construction paper, adhesive tape, tissues
Lunchboxes, paper sacks, term calendars -
While in a lonely room
A pathetic little man polishes his Glock
