Spying On Others

I am sitting at the secretary’s desk, the biggest conference score. I am a voyeur today, thirteen screens, show the playgrounds and the door. Thirteen screens showing parental visitors moving to and fro, Screens that feature students with their moms, a great big picture show. I watch them in the hallways, I watch them down the stairs. I watch them twist and shout, I watch them flip their hairs. Thirteen screens. Movie popcorn is the only thing I lack. So here I sit and watch, chuckling as I eat another snack.
