What to Write

Pen in my hand.
Paper under my nose.
What to write.
What to write.

The fluttering of pages.
The thud of books.
The zip of a backpack.
The tapping of fingers.
What to write.
What to write.

Eyes darting.
Pen caps moving.
Minds racing.
What to write.
What to write.

The smell of ink.
The smell of paper.
The smell of nothing.
What to write.
What to write.

Stomachs filled.
Eyes heavy.
A class of students on an average day.
What to write.
What to write.
