The only colliding particles we see today
are the yellow ones that fly
from the filing of your chalk piece -
The room is hazed with them.
They enter our ears
and clog our cochleas,
muffling the monotony of your lesson.
Stains form on our skin
and drain our facial glow,
replacing it with a jaundiced tint -
We want to recover
But our bodies can't accept anything
save for the soporific tone of your questions.
That's why you hear
a deep-breathing drone
from the back of the room
cascading now
to the front row:
We're answering you
in our REM sleep -
please don't
ignore our silent
somniloquies.
