Trying to get ahold of my books and 

Failing. 

Scattered papers

Stretched binds of books

Scraped binders.

Exposing my strengths and weaknesses. 

Scrambling. 

 

Trying to pick up the papers and 

Overreaching. 

The hallway is backing up,

I can’t grasp my work. 

People getting aggravated, 

I can’t decide on what to pick up first.

Breaking. 

 

Trying to get up post fall and

Struggling. 

People start to clap,

Out of spite. 

Barely holding my books, binders, bearings. 

Someday I might get ahold of my books.

Hoping.
