Epigram For The Bullies In High School, Especially 1973

Invisible, the walls of popularity

allowed no trace or shred of solidarity,

enforcing artifices of disparity.

Those who were once boldly, verbosely, violent

have fallen to decrepitude---still, silent---

 

the sudden slope, almost straight down, they did not expect or seek;

 

but my poems have remained to linger for a look, and speak.

 

Starward
