in a classroom
taking a final
i am the last one there
no answers come to me
as clock ticks away
the professor looks hopefully sad
trying to give me just a little more time
the laughter from the hallway distracting me
all my fellow students
making holiday plans
still i look for answers
that i do not have
finally the professor walks slowly towards me
holding his hand out
my time is up
so i hand over blank page and laugh
smirking as i get up to leave
you were a lousy teacher and i did not buy the textbook for this class.
