The purple pen they hold in their hand
Keeps in time with the tarnished, black-metaled, red handed, unnapealing clock at the back of the room

Then someone starts tapping their foot
Towards the back of the room against the tan, cool-metaled,hair pulling pronged, everest green seat connected, desk
Ugghhhh I want to scream
Quit it!

I'm trying to think 
To focus!
Please!
And my own thoughts are added to the mix

Please!

And they walk in
Confidence bursting through the roof
They look at me

The room goes silent 
But the breath from their lips

And they murmur 
"Sorry I'm late"
Like they couldn't have got there ant sooner

Like I havn't been waiting here for an hour in boredom

They sit down next to me and I'm glad they are my best friend

  • A mask

    My favorite earring
    Metal bicycles dangling 
    More like tangling in my long hair
    Little blue beads surrounding the rim
    Encasing the empty tire like a fountain
    My worn down Vans
    Patterned like an atlas map
  • Why?

    I witness injustices often now. How come when we learned about the thirteenth ammendment they just "forgot" to mention how it turned the prison system into slavery?
