"I spent an evening getting practice looking bored."

- 'If Not For My Glasses' -- Dear and the Headlights.

Mom wants me to do math with Dad.
I know how it'll end.
But I'll attempt it anyway.
In a moment or two.

For now, I can stay calmly in my own room.
In my own world.
With music that I love in my ears
and no socks on my feet.
