Classroom

feet shuffle
occasional whisper
someone gets a text
----------unmistakable buzz of a cell on vibrate
the quiet a presence in the room

cough
sigh
zipper binder gets opened
pens and pencils move
eyes follow the lines of letters

this room with no windows
a daily sanctuary of conformity
we all are here observing convention
biding time

but sometimes the magical intrudes
and a fairy waves a wand of creative colour
and out of the silence of rustles

comes a bouquet of laughter
