it felt
like school would never end.
the clock,
the chalkboard,
the books,
the annoying children
in the halls
and rooms.
when would that bell
finally ring?
this feeling
came over me
in kindergarten
and stuck with me all the way
through high school
and beyond.
i remember
sitting at my desk the very
first day,
staring at the clock,
holding
a crayon,
and murmuring to myself,
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
how long
will this go on?
