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.
