Sounds of School
If you can hear the sound
of my voice
clap once
If you can hear the sound
of my voice
clap twice
Hasn't anyone ever thought
of thrice?
Or maybe you can quartile that one
The sound of restroom lines
Drinking water from a fountain
dumping trays of plastic
every now and then
a spill of
cucumber
milk
rice
The endless whistles
and bells
Attendance!
Attendance!
I am attending
to be honest
with you
Then there is the
perpetual
phone calls
in the middle
the moment
that teachable
moment
Hello
Could you send
blah, blah, blah
to the office
they are going home!
The sounds of voices
SHHHH!
Recess
running
jumping
then the pollen
sneezing
Can I go to the restroom?
Happens a billion times over
Then the bell
Final bell
If you can hear the sound of my voice
clap...
Yeah, I got it!
Twice
When will you say thrice?
