Sleeping in Class

The teacher mumbles on

Into a spiderweb of words

That float and dense the air

I'll never understand lessons

The web but falls

From the bed canopy of trees

And words melt down and blend

As dreams crust around my eyes

Like cracker crumbs

That stick to my lips after the snack

Sleeping way the class lectures

I'm but a little mouse

Devoured by the ether owl

That gives me many dreams

Where I'll be slow and safe

The rude school bell rings sullen now

To break the steady breath
