Absent

Absent from this room
But not from this mind
Thoughts run rapidly in math
Is this trained eggbeater okay?
Probably just sick
Or skating again
Still...looking at his empty seat
Where is he?
Attention caught by variables
Damn these square roots!
I silence myself with a promise
I'll call him later, find out then
Hope he's okay...
Absent from this room
But not from this mind.
