Locker Poems - Poems about Locker

They never saw me—not really. Only the outline I traced in the halls, A whisper of denim and shy glances, A ghost who smiled too politely. They passed notes like grenades, Laughed too loudly When the silence was breaking me. I wore their words like a second skin— Tight, blistering, But invisible to them. You asked if I was okay once— But your eyes flicked away Before...

My office is a meat locker. We could hang a hog in here for a week. It would not become rancid or even warm. My office is a meat locker. I am dressed in long underwear And four sweaters in eighty-eight-degree weather My office is a meat locker. The custodian is my best friend now. She comes in here to cool off....

As The Note-Taking Girl scribbles And absentmindedly quibbles Her fingers are animated wriggles Churning out eccentric squiggles: Letters of Ever Clumsy Angles, One like a creeper that tangles, As many like threads in singles, Wherefore her teacher openly wrangles And after explosion stiffly dangles Before her the option of A Street Hawker Bearing a case with or without a locker And around patrolling...

The Shape of Mourning by Michael R. Burch The shape of mourning is an oiled creel shining with unuse, the bolt of cold steel on a locker shielding memory, the monthly penance of flowers, the annual wake, the face in the photograph no longer dissolving under scrutiny, becoming a keepsake, the useless mower lying forgotten in weeds, rings and crosses and all the paraphernalia the soul no longer needs.

Immature boys having a bully good time Plenty wet towel fun ... doing nude, verbal denigrating It was just harmless locker room talk, the unconcerned adults all said Nothing to worry about, the pampering voices cooed Giving patronizing pats on the head to those annoying, ponytail ginger freckles in school Insecure men love having women squirm under their thumbs, office hours pinned Mature females moving nervously around the water cooler Hearing...

I don't recall all that much talk in locker rooms. These are typically quiet as reflective libraries unless involved in team sports. Then locker room talk may review a well played game, but, again, those played less fortunately, less familiarly, not really too much to say, sometimes thinking of other more nutritionally feeding things, people, places in time's perpetually receding memory.

Odyssey of The Mind A Mind is a Storage Locker Written: by Tom Wright 3/6/2016 Staring from some nook in every mind, Exists mental images and thoughts of grandness, And others that probe for meaning, That God has favored only you to see. Some gather dust in contentedness, While others hunger to be loosed; Once common they exist as public domain, And are not...
