Quick!

Turn around!

Catch this kid,

Phone lit right up,

fingers dancing across the screen.

 

Come on!

Look!

He's playing Candy Crush,

But your back is turned.

You say you have clever eyes.

You don't.

 

Hey!

Look over here!

She's texting in the back row

In the pocket of her hoodie.

Are you blind?

Make it stop.

 

Hello?

What's your problem?

You have a strict policy

For cell phones in class.

So why am I stuck

Staring at the glow

of someone else's screen?
