You can tell.
I sit in class
tap my feet
pen
fingernails
LOUDLY
in some pathetic attempt.
To get her attention
To get her
to look at me.
In the same way
as I look at her.
I tap my feet
louder.
My pen
louder.
My fingernails
louder.
She just sits there
at her desk
doing her work
She should be doing
me.
