Each Echo of the Tick


O Almighty Teacher! Load the students up with homework. Have you forgotten? we don't have lives! I shield my eyes from your menacing ones. No, I do not know the answer to that question My whole high school experience was to dodge humiliation, Why do you incite it on me so? O Almighty Teacher! Each second my glance grazes the clock Why do the hands freeze along with time? The buzzing of the cheap lights Gives me a headache. Would it kill you to turn on the heater? The only happiness I feel is the exhilaration exploding when the bell finally rings. It only took eternity to get there.
