The teacher is droning on
From the other side of the screen
I took a glance outside my window
The blue sky covered with clouds
Trees with withered leaves
Grass hidden under the snow
That’s what I see
There’s an exam next Monday
Only three days after today
Outside my window, behind the glass
A bluebird flying far away
A man is passing by
As the sun gets covered by clouds
That’s what I see
Why do I have to study?
What’s the point of being remote?
If I had a choice,
I’d rather be IN school.
But let me pull my notes out anyway
And study
Who knows what might happen?
It’s now time to take the exam
A pencil and eraser too
Beyond the glass barrier nearby
I took a glimpse and see
A flower blooming in the garden
Laughing kids strolling by
And a bird chirping
Right outside my window
Maybe I might just pass that exam.
Maybe I might even do better than I thought
Maybe remote school is not so bad after all
Despite talking to teachers and friends
From the other side of the screen
We are all just one window away.
