a garden in the corner of a gym

***
|
||||
|
||||
the presiding queen rules over her patch of concrete
|
||||
resentful of the hole in her chest, woefully incomplete
|
||||
and her knees and shoulders have betrayed her too many times
|
||||
so she sits on her patch and looks down on us from up high
|
||||
|
||||
a coercive building made of ancestors' malice
|
||||
she watches the children as she sips from chalice
|
||||
contorting their bodies in impossible ways
|
||||
but no empathy resides in her stony gaze
|
||||
|
||||
all bow down at the command of a robotic voice
|
||||
programming the class to believe they have no choice
|
||||
to bend, extend, repeat, give false confession
|
||||
rear ends in the air, youthful limbs ready for inspection
|
||||
|
||||
rain's cold air banished, air stuffy and hot
|
||||
a door to freedom bolted shut and locked
|
||||
maybe, if we lift these weights on the count of ten
|
||||
we will lift ourselves straight up to heaven
