There are knicks in the
girls’ bathroom doorknob
and I imagine someone has
a homicidal obsession
and that is where they count
their “privileged” victims.
In high school they all say
the universe is ours to save.
But we ended up just
shrugging our shoulders
and pinning each other up against the lockers.

I myself find it so very difficult to create meaning with little words, and I end up overdoing many pieces. A ton of the time, poems like these come out irritatingly cheesy, but yours didn't, so congrats and good job!

Congratulations. You have impressed a very critical and disagreeable person: me.
