(the class president)

If he would cooperate

even once in a while,

I might be moved

to ignore

his blatantly superior attitude.

He always acts

like the law is for mere mortals

not prodigies like him.

But he just sits, unmoving,

with an irritatingly self-possessed smirk.

He interrupts only

to correct me

when I have mispronounced a word

or made a mistake

in my speeches.
