Bad Day At School

Ronald-Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)



The sky was trembling,
The day was numbered,
Like a locomotive it came rushing.
First sleet then hale, yelling.
Next,
Rain then thunder, betrayal,
Flashing.
Nowhere to hide, bullied,
Locked outside,
Struck,
Fell,
Murdered.
To be rammed by this storm
Felt surreal like my first bath,
But this one I didn't awake from,
A part of me died then was
Regenerated from inside,
Collide!
