tap tap tap tap
meaningless sounds for meaningless seconds
tap tap tap
tick tick tick tick
clock on the wall counting the hours
tick tick tick
clickity clickity click
words typed out to fill up the silence
click click click
tack tack
alright who’s chewing gum?
tack tack tack
clip clip clip clip
high heels like horse shoes pass through the hallways
clip clip clip clop
shhhhhhhhhh
don't fill the silence it’s here for a reason
shhh shhh shhh
flick flick flick
papers arranged all neat in their folders
flick flick
pop pop pop pop pop
someone out there is cracking their knuckles
pop pop pop
thunk
books drop, people stare
thunk thunk
rustle rustle
this is class time not lunch time, put away your doritos
rustle rustle crunch
rattle rattle rattle
when is the teacher getting their chair fixed?
rattle rattle roll
shhhhhhhhhh
don't fill the silence it’s here for a reason
shhh shhh shhh
slip slip slip
you’re going to fall off and you know it
slip slip slip slide
donk donk donk
that kid was never very good at tests
donk donk
