Word: Jitter 

Constantly moving, 
Looking, looking,
The world’s too slow, 
So I jitter. 
Moving to create something,
Nothing, nothing. 
Waiting for life to catch up,
So I jitter. 
Scribbling onto paper, 
Tamper, tamper.
Too much to do here,
So I jitter. 
Eyes keep glancing, 
Waiting, waiting.
A foot taps with movement,
So I jitter. 
It’s too silent, 
Resistant, resistant. 
A pencil taps a beat,
So I jitter. 
In the classroom, the snail clicks the melody,
While the statues sit so silently. 
Eyes wander until shushed, 
So I jitter. 
There’s no logic here, nothing makes sense,
So please don’t repeat the same things.
The bell finally rings, and the snail runs out,
So I jitter.
