off at a tangent

Location

                                  

Math Class

The hard uncomfortable seat that hurts my ass more than any other class,

The shrill voice that lasts in my mind for hours, I dread walking through that door

Upon the board the words Cotangent and cosecant written in ugly brown.

How does she have this much excitement about math?

Why can’t numbers solve their own problems… they make the smartest kid here look like a dumbass.

 

SOHCAHTOA: Some Old Hippy Catch A High Tripping Off Acid.

The dude next to me smells like he killed a French whore.

Tangent, cotangent, cosecant… who cares?!

This guy really needs to take another bath.

I’d would rather be killed by the gator at Lake Placid.

 

Oh look its raining!

My boyfriend sighs in dread.

The fields are going to be to wet again.

I can feel my life slowly draining.

 

I missed the lesson, oh boy I am doomed.

Gotten lost in my thoughts, once again

Damn I am really going to be dead…

Mom’s not going to be happy happy happy.

She’s probably already started on my tome .

Math class

The only thing that’s a big pain in my ass

I’d rather be somewhere on a sunny coast shore

I could go shopping out on the town,

This guy really does need a bath

This afternoon I think I’ll go fishing for some bass.
