Classroom Blues
Crack a smile
no one will know
hello, how are you
general sense
there are no individuals
in a classroom of twenty-six.
Only attention
is when I put my head down
sick or tired
depressed
be ready to get yelled at.
Answer this, be called on for that
no teaching, just powerpoint presentations
of chapters that I've read.
What a day it's been
hungry and tired
ready to go home
but preparing for a quiz
for a subject I don't understand.
Music can get me through the day
but music I have to put away.
I hope this isn't the same tomorrow.
