#44 recurring kindergarten nightmare

teacher lines up our stuffed animals
saws their necks with a steak-knife
like carrots

we fight tears
amy loses
Mrs Ward speaks
from her oak throne
Shut your little mouth
You Crybaby
hands back our headless friends

i can't look at my Ernie
i'll cry
i look to the throne
happy plastic eyes stare
