Pensive Thoughts About School, A Series Of Haiku

Location

"You need to know this."

I wonder if it's only

For one single test.

---

"Think this way." They say.

"This is what is right." They say.

I haven't any say.

---

There's calculation.

There's application as well.

Where's inspiration?

---

"Get a good number."

"Do not get a low number."

"Or you'll disappoint."

---

I raise my hand up

But then I put it back down.

It sucks to be wrong.

---

My teacher tells jokes.

God... Another sandwich joke.

Make your own sandwich.

---

I don't understand.

You're a wonderful teacher

But your pay is small.

---

I need to go pee.

"You could've gone before class."

I'll just pee right here.
