A Hole in Nebraska

leans back in the chair
the man is short, fat. balding. when he talks, he gestures with his extrememly short fingers.
looks up at the cieling
he just keeps talking. wont stop. whos listening. who cares.
spins a pencil. slouches.
whats the point.
the american school system is like a prison. full of locked doors, passes, rules, stressed out teachers on too much caffiene. Too many people who care about things that are too little. things that dont matter. they teach subjects not involved with a class. favoritism is the basis for detentions.
teaching not for us to learn but for us to pass a test at the end of the year.
what is going on. standing in the hall talking is obviously way too much public affection. I hope they choke on their greasy tuna noodle. then we can say we didnt try to save them because it would be sexual harrassment.
