The Web Poetry Corner - Thomas Michael McDade - Mr. Melucci, Tolman High, 1962

Mr. Melucci, Tolman High, 1962

by

Thomas Michael McDade

He said he was
the only teacher
we’d remember.
Why not?
He taught
American History.
Who else advised us
to defy cops
invading lovers’ lanes
or alcohol proving grounds?
Roll the window down
enough to slip
license and registration out.
"Demand a warrant
beyond that!"
The chalky hands that
built homes in summer
chopped, dragged
and sliced the air.
Fist pounding desk,
palms flashing
like badges,
remembering
seemed no less
than the law.
