What's with her,
Ambushing me like that in the morning.

"That's good, though you look tired"
She gently smiles at me.

Well I'm not tired,
But I guess black circles under eyes,

There's still some time,
so I guess I will rest for a while.

I put my head on the desk,
And close my eyes.

With beings we call humans,
Who seek communication throughout their lifes,
While in the end still dying alone.

The bell rings,
Everyone heads toward their seats,
And the class gets silent.

I collect my thoughts,
And open my eyes.
