Purple math book on a desk in front of giggles incarnate.
We cannot stop, not with those aliens trying to explain
Things we already know, commenting on that kid
Picking his nose every day wiping it on his pants.
I never laughed like that before. Knees banging
The underside of the desk, sides ready to burst
Breathing increasingly difficult as the yelling started
From the front of the classroom.
Purple math book on a desk in the hallway can't
Be partners with Dave's anymore after today.
I couldn't stop and Dave couldn't stop
And the hallway couldn't save the teacher.
I kept writing those speech bubbles and kept
Right on laughing. So did Dave, even after his desk
Moved to face away from the window in the door.
I could see him shaking, hiding his face from the teacher.
