Maybe if I sway in my
Seat a little I’ll be
Able to stay awake.
A sip of cold water from
The bottle conveniently placed
On my right could jolt me
Back for a few seconds.
Perhaps if I think of all
The things I must do today…
No, I should listen.
Listen to him explain something
I’ve already read from the
Lecture twenty minutes ago.
Could the clock tick away
Any slower?
Okay, thirty more minutes and
It’s all over. I think I can make it.
Fidgeting is doing nothing to stay aware,
Water just makes me have to go.
A little nap won’t hurt,
Right?
