School nightmares

A million possibilities
Tongue, teeth and lips lock
Nouns and adjectives stumble
Lemming notions slip into quiet rooms
'I think... Therefore... More over'
Mumble, mumble
Curling fingers caress cotton shirts
Eyes dart hither and Thither
Tables, door, chairs, clock
Nearly there, nearly there
'maybe... Perhaps... I don't know'
The calcium carbonate makes me cough
No, wait- there's none of that here
White boards, they're all around me
Clones of copies of nothing at all
Smudged, inky theries, rubbed away
Throat takes in greedy gulps of air
Nose is assaulted by the smell of youth
Assaulted, help, call the cops
Isn't there  some law broken
'well, you see... It suggests... Somehow'
...
Truth is I don't know anything
I'm confused, undirected, but don't worry
Send me to the careers advisor, the head, the nurse
As for the latter it'll be a no go
I don't have a note
I'm not of note
Nothing can excuse me
So tell me, what am I to do? 
Teach me teacher, something I can use
Or let me sit at the back
And write poetry...
