nose

the child recieves his paper

****** backward by the one in front

flip the three pages flippantly

one : intimidating . . two : boring

the third adorned unexpectedly

a longer -than seems can be usually- grown hair with a clump of green root

sprung out and slaughtered, down across the width; stuck above the questions beneath

 

how could he not have seen?

a pile so viscous and obscene?

does everyone else have one???

are they holding their disgust beneath?

 

he looked up at the teacher.

A look of vigilance his face bequeathed.

B  ut now it sprung out almost pus like

a faint smile,

        a teachers calm reprieve

 

he then leaned back on his chair in comfort

drooping his head back

his nostrils flared now toward the child

the hairs brustling from inside, all locked up in a ***** days remnants

all foul

           and long

and dehydrated

    like a swamp now sunned crisp; reeds on a stale bank

 

drawn in he felt uneasy

unable to cease to stare

incased inside the world that spawned

in the swamp that lay up there

in the cavernous orifices there

 

then he saw the teachers eyes, his gaze it

stuck on him, the teacher began to grin

further back his head leant

his eyes jaundiced

his teeth tanned

his face pale

his grin outstretched and thin
