I hate Mondays Week A
3 periods of Year 8
two groups of 20
13 year old boys
who can't do school
very well require
a maximum of energy
with a minimal return

I am happy to head home
at the end of Monday Week A
with my best friend on the train
I sit close to him, lean in
breathe in deeply
watch the pretty architecture
and the pinkening dappled skies.
Mondays Week B
are a breeze.
I know I can do tomorrow
I've done Monday
Week A.
