head heavy, book heavier
mind and soul
superimposed on
the concrete seat.
moan with injury
as foolish thinking
plants a seed of
confidence,
determination to
devour knowledge in one night.
one book, one chapter.
a soft exhale, momentarily
lifting a page
of the textbook
a slight uplift, a light inhale.
one page, one paragraph,
one yawn
to signal
effort.
