Literature Text

Sitting in a bare, white room,
listening to a lesson,
hearing the rules,
being told to be quiet,
taking the same notes,
"sit down, shut up, stop standing out,"
writing your name, date, period,
nutrition,
class,
lunch,
class,
homework,
sleep,
repeat.

But:

There are multicolored tiles on the "bare, white" room's floor,
new things to learn in every lesson,
varied inflections to every recitation,
underlying messages in every "shut up,"
lots of empty spaces around notes to fill with poems,
a number that is changed in every heading,
different teachers
in different moods
with different knowledge,
and different approaches
in every class, every single day.

Monotony? No.

Subtlety.
Try to see the artistry in everything.
