Safe


The people in this school are so boring!
I suppose the people in any school are
but why does it have to be so boxed and packaged?

little multicolored plastic insects
well-placed hair
a touch of color to cover raw features
a touch of similarity to cover the individual

I look like you
you look like me
all is safe

this is, after all, the "ideal" studying climate
scientists have proven
that straight-backed chairs, indirect florescent lights,
and windowless rooms create the best effects
non-offensive white walls that hold us into a 
cold room

if only something interesting would happen!
