FOR THE QUIET CHILD


The spotlight dances upon
The wild child
Streaking across the room
Talking,  fidgeting,  forgetting
Homework, rules, consideration
Like an attention-seeking missile
Demanding 
All eyes on me!
The eyes, minds, and voices of the teachers comply
As hordes of quiet students
Huddle
Lost in the background
Invisible in their cloaks of obedience
While
Trying to learn
