School’s Out

Lons Ramsdell, “School’s Out” (Home Movies Magazine, 1950)
I was still there
in the same place
right where I left me
when I looked up
the grass was greener
and I had a magical feeling
it was all in front of me
I turned around
I looked back and waved
and got in my car
–John Sapiro, “on revisiting my school playground”
