They write
Sit in their chairs and silently think
Ink goes on the pages and mistakes are made
Try to learn
But habits are harder to break than that.
Hoping for more
They scribble, pout, glance
Nibbling at their nails,
Arms posed on shoulders ,
Or across pages
Legs double crossed,
Head down held by elbowed hand
Work down in Modern letters or Art
Describing their ideas.
