Lunch Part 1

First day, third grade,

New School

Again

Lunchroom isolation and yet

Hundreds of laughing children.

Leaving soon

No point in making friends.


I shove myself between a kid and the wall

He scoots closer to his friends.

Play-do sits on my plate.

Crowded and alone

I eat my fake spaghetti

As the silence eats at 

Me.
