Restless.

In and out,

the boy seeks a distraction.

Very little work is done.

Disruptive.

Scraping a chair;

air freshner dismantled;

bathroom floor wet.

Daydreaming.

Biting his nails

while staring into space,

he darts around like a fly.

Stubborn.

Pleading his case,

he argues that using a dictionary

will slow him down.

The translator is fast, he believes.

Truth?

The boy is addicted.

iPad is life.

Entertainment.

Convenience.

Escape.

Without it, he is dysfunctional.
