Donated cans are stacked
in a little corner of the room
for those who are willing and have to give.
I pass by it feeling a little prang of guilt
but my mind cannot dwell on it seeing
as how my teacher begins the lesson
and pieces of balanced equations
start sawing at my brain.
At the end of class the teacher mentions again
that if you bring in cans
you can get extra credit
I, who is failing, walk right out.
