  1. Empty steps. Like a koan:
    show me what your steps sound like
    before your parents are born.

  3. A hall monitor,
    but no one to monitor.

  6. Remeber kids upchucking and then the grumpy janitor would pour this green powdery stuff on it. It'd only mask the smell, and the janitor was a sadist who'd let it just sit there.
    You caputre school hallways nicely.
