Teeth Chattering Like Monkeys

Teeth chattering like monkeys 
She went on and on
Clicking and clacking in ears that had 
Turned sorrowful and disappeared into
No man’s land

Teeth chattering like monkeys
The words spewed forth
Snapping and barking in the air where
many dreams died a natural death
The promise land never promising this

Teeth chattering like monkeys
The monologue droned in triplicate
Underneath the backs of others
the students began texting with
bright happy cell phones

Teeth chattering like monkeys
The professor’s tirade kept on the track
With a click and a clack 
as the rails fell into the bowels of .....
and still she had no clue
