Goes the Clock

Goes the Clock

Tic Toc goes the clock
as the time runs low.
I listen to the others mock
as we're taught what to know
the bell rings.
the others start to talk
again the bell rings.
as I'm undoing my lock
I grab my books.
Tic Toc goes the clock
as the teacher looks
the others start to mock
I quietly take my seat
the teacher says, "We need to talk."
I ask when we'll meet.
Tic Toc goes the clock
I hear a buzz like that of a bee.
The class starts on stalks,
but the others stared at me.
