Birds

I sit in my classroom

Watching the clock as seconds

On by. 

Time is moving slower.

I watch out the window instead. 

Procrastinating. 

Two birds fly past 

And perch on the beams 

Chirping to each other

Probably not talking about maths

Free to fly away

To wherever they want to be. 

While I have to stay in this classroom

Watching the clock as the seconds
