two hands clapping, back they walk
epitaphs inscribed with chalk

shuffle notecards, cough and squeak
learn to think well on your feet

hold your poster, take the stand
papers slip in sweaty hands

mumble quickly, blink and sigh
"please, no questions. no, i'll cry."

one hand clapping, it's over, then
you have to do it all again
what social anxiety can do to its prey in a classroom...
