I'm sitting in my first period class
Eating half a bagel
And drinking my tea
I'm wearing my boyfriend's shirt
Which I drenched in his cologne this morning
I'm checking my English page
And looking at all the assignments I missed
And marveling that I got an 86 on the exam
I'm thinking about when I have a band period
And what class I should miss for it
I'm sitting in my first period class
Where the board projector might be broken
And I'm hoping it is so we don't have to do anything
I'm thinking about the dream my boyfriend told me he had last night
And thinking about how great it would be to actually happen
I'm looking at the bagel that I said I was eating
But in fact have  not unwrapped from its foil
And the tea I said I was drinking
But in fact have not opened the lid
I'm sitting here wondering when I'll be sick next
Because I'd really love to miss some days of school
And for once have an excuse to not do work
