I know this, I know this, I know this, I don't, I do.

I understand how to find the

acceleration of a runner when

given the change in time but

I don't know what that runner would

rather be doing, who they'd rather

be with,

if anyone.

I don't know who I'd rather be with,

if anyone.

I am learning, I have learned.

I am smart by the books,

by the state, by the curriculum,

but I don't how how I will go on

when everyone I love is dead, or

if I will cry tonight.

I know that distance times time is 

speed but I don't know when I will

run out of it.

Time.

Time.

Time.

Time is irrelevant.

Focus in class,

do as you're asked and

be like the rest.

Don't forget to brush your teeth

and don't forget to stay asleep and

don't forget to forget to think because

when you think, you know

and when you know you're not

following.

Follow.

Follow.

Follow.

Sleep.
