Must get homework done.
Soft Marie Antoinette gold and blue
lean back, eyes closed—slowly open to see
reflections, mere shadows of real life;
light shining on brownish gold.
Stairs lead up to higher learning, treatises of knowledge;
Rush of air—door handle needs oiling.
Westminster chimes.
Bells ringing off key.
Must get homework done…
“The Gauls amalgamated with”
can’t concentrate.
Girl talking—”at the end”—
while stilettos clack on the carpet.
Model-esque pose, boyfriend approaches.
Chimes again—
must get homework done—”not the political titles”
Long vent blowing wisps of hair
and spreading out cool blankets of air.
Unintentional rhyme.
Music in the distance, stained glass off to the side.
Apostrophe to unfinished homework.
Leave the Marie Antoinette gold and blue.
It’s 3:50.
