I repeated every lesson,
hearing every drowning
word...
Every syllable that was recast,
but I never learnt a single...
done over,
duplicated..
Reproduced as another version of
the same verse..
Everything was!
refashioned,
redone, remade..
In the fashion of what was before.
But even though I sat in every class..
I never took a single word in..
The teachers changed, but I remembered
that one who made me resit
every lesson....
I cant see anything in this crammed space...
But hopefully one day some
one will cover me for a toilet break..
And I'll be peace....
I resit every lesson and still
all I see is deathly words..
Never heard,
but reverberating though hollow bones
