Mind Numbness

by Rick Williams

[sitting through classes with a teacher that speaks in 500-word sentences can be a real adventure...]


I'm trying hard to stay awake;
the teacher's dial is set on "bake".

The numbing drone; I cannot see;
like mental acid, it's eating me.

Alertness, shot, I'm fading fast;
I don't know how long I can last.

But just when I can take no more
the clock smiles down and I hit the door.
