I reach up to answer,
Then catch my hand,
just in the nick of time.
I could have answered,
let free the pounding words in my head,
but i stopped.
What if I was wrong?
My math teacher drones on
about transversals,
and i try to submerge myself in the thought of summer.

leading up to
countless memories.
The exact opposite
of the dreary weather
battling outside.
I should probably be listening.
Whatever.
