P.S. 81 The Bronx

because it was cooler


than the oven
we called our classroom

Except for the occasional


thwump and bang of the boiler

clear water licking


at my toes.

Imagery
beach,
white glistening sand
a cool breeze

I pressed my steaming face


against the cold
ceramic tiles
Which is the only sense missing
of the five senses?
