Nika McGuin - Empty Classroom

enter the classroom of ghosts
rows of should-be empty desks stir
their inhabitants stare back at me
but I can't meet their translucent eyes
they turn and converse amongst themselves
I sit alone in the front row, the only one alive
to a stranger's eyes the room is full
but I know ghosts when I see them,
and these are it!
