When the teacher is blathering
on and on about something
of which I don't have the remotest idea
I pick up my pencil and start scribbling.
A girl with four eyes here,
a bouquet of flowers there,
some squares within circles within triangles
and a dog in a tux there.
Meaningless doodling through the whole class
and while the teacher explains weight and mass,
I'm enveloped in my own little world
of princes and ribbons and kittens and grass.
The teacher's describing a cell's nucleus (or is he?)
I can't tell 'cause I'm just too busy
with loops and curls and doodles and lines
if i pay attention, I'm bound to get dizzy.
I know i should be paying attention
when the teacher talks about policies of the nation,
but the last thing I can do is concentrate
when i can draw an alien invasion.
So i just relax my mind
Thinking "I'll *yawn* catch up next time."
take a pen put it down on paper
and let my imagination go wild.
I don't care if the teacher's explaining energy and Joule
my blue gel pen just becomes my tool
and the margins of my textbook become my canvas
there isn't a single boundary or limit or rule.
