Morning

You go to school
Warming up
Slow to realise
You go everywhere
You are concerned
Family is sick
No concern
Nothing's happened yet
You worry
To no avail
Pointless though
Go to your family
Your friends
Then over the headphones
Across the radio
During the announcements
Your family died last night

Shock.
No one called.
No one said.
You knew not.
How did they know?
Why didn't you know first?
You don't comprehend
Silence
Then grief.
