Waiting

Tick…tick…tick…tick…
…..sigh…..
Tap…tap…tap…tap…
…..Groan……..
Pound…tap….tick…tock…

Sitting an waiting and nothing’s improving
Hoping and desiring this time to end
Hearing the clock, watching its hands
Time moves slower each second

Looking at nails, and playing with hair
Crumbling each paper you discover
Tapping your feet to each new beat
Hearing jeopordy’s song, waiting for the bell’s ding ding ding

Eyes staring traveling to dreamland
Hello? Wake up! It’s your turn
Unsure of destination when snapped back into place
Red cheeks flushed in embarrassment

Ding ding ding
Saved by the bell
Swoosh, clunk, slam….silence
The room is now empty

Crickets are chirping
Wind is blowing
Silence is waking
The school day is finally over
