Second Floor Hall Duty
Last night, Nancy prompted me to record
the pretty little lies I wanted to hear.
Now it’s 10am Wednesday and any
velvet underground can’t touch me at this
crossing: World Language Hall behind me,
Mathematics to the front and left.
No ill whispers, only the hush of Summer-eager
students wandering like tiny gods until
graduation practice.
They ask me if I know when to go rehearse their Pomp
and Circumstance, but no one tells me such things.
Inspired by The Writing Prompts for The Devil from “Tarot Rituals” by Nancy C Antenucci

The first stanza is so intriguing.
It seems as if the really
important unimportant
details always
elude us
