Drill<\/h1>\n

by Steve Klepetar<\/p>\n

\n

Another day and we\u2019re huddled
\nbehind glass, waiting for silence
\nto return. A girl shivers in this icy
\nsound, exposed beneath long
\nwisps of hair. A gray man fiddles
\nwith his watch. Time stretches,
\na tension that penetrates bone.
\nSirens and time and glass.
\nA tall, thin boy pulls and pulls
\nat his ear. Unaccustomed
\nto these smells, we look away,
\npreferring our own pain to these
\nother faces, distorted mirrors
\nof green fear. Sirens sing and
\nwe cringe and inch closer to each
\nother as if a certain noise could
\nburn skin and melt each unshielded eye.
\n###<\/p>\n
