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.
