School is as a waiting game,
waiting,
waiting for the time when the game has
gone for long enough
and I will play my own game
with no waiting, waiting,
except for waiting for
tomorrow, which will be filled
with excitement and decisions, ideas and
anything, anything except waiting, waiting
as there will be nothing to
wait for, as the waiting game will have
ended, and a new game begun, begun.
