4. I was inattentive in Science class one day
When the teacher at random looked my way
I didn’t look up, I wouldn’t dare
There’s no escaping that intense glare.
5. Paraphrase
The poet was inattentive in
Science class one day and she was
frightened that the teacher would
scold her for her inattentive, if
she looked up.
Her mind was blank.
