How do I pay attention when nothing matters?
Sitting here with faces.
Thinking of different places.
Everyone’s different cases.
They matter.
But how do I pay attention when nothing matters?
Looking at the teacher.
She’s talking ‘bout the preacher.

They change.
How do I pay attention when nothing matters?

Concern to earn.

How do I pay attention when nothing matters?
Do I have to care about this lecture?
Do I get a say about the next section?

Still talking ‘bout the preacher.

Who are they?
Am I the preacher?
Am I the creature?
Talking in circles.
Because none of this matters.
