Virtual Learning

By Angelina Moscatello



The air in my room hits my face

warm and stagnant

Lulling me to sleep like a thick blanket


The buzz of iPad speakers turns

to white noise


I fixate on a tree outside my window

swaying in a fall breeze

soaking up some light I’d rather have in my room


Somewhere out there, the groan of a

lawn mower resounds,

a dog barks


I yawn and return my eyes to the artificial light

once more
