Youth sits hiding at
the back of the room
while the lesson is going on,
festering in complacency
a fly buzzes listlessly while
two girls write an erotic
reinterpretation of the scene,
batting an absence of lashes
at each other, faces curled in smiles
sneaking in a baseball,
the youth sits, meticulously
unstitching it, half-listening to
discussion about passive, then
active voice.
