Student Teacher Caught Replies

hark is caught the lark or is it destined to slip free from this net of apparent capture? teacher's eyebrow raises head tilted to one side has she caught phantom whispers? comments soft conversations will always stalk classroom silences phantoms cross lessons discussions with ease... softly she pounces ''Are you listening? ' 'you looked distracted' flexes an eyebrow 'I'm listening' 'thinking' student caught replies... in a few simple words without apology student justifies inattention with contemplated reasoning slips free of net teacher's displeasure...
