i have curse
of being funny girl.
teacher with sarcastic joke.
i have a desk.
on an average day
i share it with at least,
AT LEAST
eight teenagers.
the chairs are pulled up
to the front
to the side
to the computer
(which by the way has lost internet connection)
and this is no flattery to me,
no admittance of my “legend”.
they suck my air,
they wait for me to
be funny girl
teacher with sarcastic joke.
today, yesterday, the day before
i have/had nothing.
i’m sad.
no telling why.
but when my skin is lined with sighs
it’s hard to look at them
wasting so much time
see them taking my space
and ruining it.
shrug.
sometimes i just don’t know anymore.
