What's up with Steven?

What’s up with Steven?

 

spends all period on his phone

generally polite 

will get a worksheet done 

 

but then wants 

to sit at the desk

or start a fight with Kenny or Ishar 

 

has this faraway 

look in his eyes

too heavy for someone that young  

 

I know there’s nothing ostensively  

wrong

and you’ve talked to his mom 

 

so just endure him for the next 

three months

hope he gets out in June?

 

there are other pressing issues

will he be the least 

of our concerns?
