The Accumulation of Facts

"Nine into x minus y
is equal to..."
Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
DDRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
The sharp corners of the room; closing in,
but staying where they are.
The tiles on the floor, the cracks in them.
The pretty hairs on heads made up in really cool ways,
I imagine someone staring at my head,
Not so prettily done.
The only objective - keep hair off sweaty neck.
(But I'm not alone, there are others like me)
Again; corners, tiles, heads. 
More corners, tiles and heads.
Then my vision closes in on KINLEY
Actually I can only see the KIN
But I know what it is.
I STARE.
The blue. The white.
Ahhh, the beautiful combination.
It has captured every atom 
of my concentration.
ie, if my concentration was a tanglible substance...
Hooked on to the colours'duet
with the crescendo of 
Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr -
the vehicles on the road,
I have now accumulated facts
And learnt not a word nor number of math.

[[ Note: I dont call this a poem. Only a consequence of my boredom in class. You call it what you may. ]]
