Did I miss Anything?

Question frequently askerd by
students missing a class
Nothing. When we realized youn weren't here,
We sat alphabetically, half asleep in our grid
Wishing away the time, gazing hopeleassly outside

Longer than life, the teacher droned on,
Tick, tock
Our unforgiving clock clicks past
Without a second thought

We longed for your presence,
We whispered and we prayed-
In English, our prayers were answered,
Your entrance was only  "delayed".

Dead air, resurrected
chit-chatter buzzes about

Did I miss anything?
     Probably not.

             But we sure did.

...An english assignment; we were given the beginning of a poem (Tom Wayman's Did I Miss Anything, in my case), and we were expected to infuse our own style into the soul of the poem.
