Classroom Copy

What I see  
When I look at this book
Is the off white color
The thick black letters
How some of the print has faded away
From florissant light  
The way I hold this classroom copy book
My teal painted nails
My fairly tanned hand holding the center of the book
While my other hand holds the weight of my head
Bored to death
Starring at this book,
With the intent of reading it
But finding myself not easily distracted  
But searching for distractions
Pondering why every school book has the same font
Analyzing that I'm not the first student to dislike this book
Seeing that there is a crease in the spin of the book
Tells me that someone had page 10 open for a very long time
My teacher probably thinks this book would help with the lesson we will learn
But I can't get over the fact that I do not wish to read
A out dated, extremely long sentenced, descriptive book!
Which I realize must have took the author a while to write,
But I don't have the patience to read and re-read
So I sit here wasting time  
And praying these words will pop out and make sense to me
Or just fill up this 50 minute class period  
 
.......I should really touch up my nail polish.
