Professors Desk

Like a crowd of Roman folk, 
they've collected in the rise of 
chairs and desks for the day, 
to approve and disapprove.  

Ones kept a gape to his mouth 
peering into a bar of light on the ceiling; 
the turkey student. 

Another leans her knowledge 
heavy head on her hand; 
marching through the mind numbing 
pages of her psychology book, 

looking about the room 
to see who is more than likely 
to be the one that suddenly 

pulls a gun and starts shooting- 
probably the one intently listening
in the back, obviously woken 
by the rush of lateness; 

the ones who smile 
are the ones who frown most.
