hey, you
I know why you’re hiding
in the back
so you would not get called on
to speak in front of the class
hundreds of faces
turn to look in my direction
his chalk poised on the board
ready to write my responses
the lights shimmered
and I felt my lips form the words
I didn’t know I knew
and that’s what it is
to exist in the present moment
all eyes on you
