A Smile Across The Classroom

In hour when tallest trees did choke
within the battered sparrow's nest
lost and found belongings and lies as company
away from the circus's cruel laughter
leering and pointing at bearded men
or else, those falling in love with Disney's child
now alone, in silence that heavenly isolation
but still the devil stirs inside
Can you know him dancing on my cheek?

Oh! but a star,
so I'll turn and find your eyes
already there, to greet me
on the journey back
