i fell asleep today
slumped into my folded arms on the desk
silent classroom full of whispers
dreams that came to me
half formed
fully formed
in and out of my thoughts
each held a semblance of you
one or two came with pain
but i shook them away
and let the dream dust settle in
happily out of my misery
i kept my lids lowered for a bit longer
and then that shrill ringing in my head
grew every louder
and i knew
the dream was over
raised the blinds, shook the sleep from my eyes, picked up my books
and left that room
full of dreamdust
blinking and winking in the sunlight
School? Huh?
