School

Teachers rushing here and there
Past classes; chattering without a care
Lessons; tutes; options; electives
Doing work; papers; selective
Listening and learning of what is said
Rather; wishing they were dead
Books unopened; lying round
Rulers dropping; making sound

Wrote this in high school 1974

Rough draft

Teachers rushing here and there
Classes chatter without a care
Lessons of all practical things
Lasting till the time bell rings
Books and papers lying round
Dropping solely to make a sound
