the passing of Gloria Himmler

the principal
on the PA system in the morning,
would make announcements.
after warning students
about parking on the yellow
painted lines,
and to use the trash cans
outside,
suggested
that we all take
a minute
for a moment of silence
in wake of the passing
of Gloria Himmler,
the science teacher
and gym instructor, part time,
who died
mysteriously overnight.
i can still hear the loud
cheers and clapping
in my ears,
even after all these years,
cascading down the hall
