April Fox

'twas the night before
-and the gun shots
in the classrooms
where we once thought
they were safe there
in their desk chairs
and the pop tests
and the noon rests
and the roll call
and the dead fall
and the alphabet
on the blackboard
the NRA vile overlords
say take this gun
fire away
have fun then
walk away
the fluorescent lights
shine all night
in the silent hell
where they all fell
and all through the House
not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse.
