teacher sent me to the doctor's office
teacher sent me home
teacher sent me to the place
where all the foul things roamteacher gave me tic-tacs
to swallow when i'm sad
teacher said the chemicals
will make me sorta madteacher dries my eyes up
with platitudes enough
to even console all the kids who
are made of smarter stuffteacher says confusion
is not a cause for shame
i'm not quite sure what teacher means
but i listen all the sameteacher treading tip-toed
lowering the tone:
"i'll help you with the theory here
but you'll practice on your own."Not mine
