When classes break we’re on the clock don’t jam up the hall don’t stand there and talk Get out of my way I have places to go why the fecking-feck are people so slow? I hop down escalators I fairly run down halls I get bored in the elevators I bounce off the walls I plan ahead I plot my course through crowds I thread it’s almost a sport Tik tock people no, not the app stop acting like sheeple I need a coffee between classes. Excuse me, I don’t mean to whine but if you’re not at the front of the line you can run out of time. Once I can order, it’s no time to play, “Un croque-monsieur et un grand crème, s'il vous plaît” and it isn’t a moment before I'm on my way. as I’m sipping my coffee students full up the line as I savor my sandwich some will run out of time This swarm of students are supposed to be brilliant but they’re too cool to hurry I shrug - c'est la vie . .
