" That day.
Even though my back is turned,
I can see what's going on.
The sound of their taunting-
I know what that looks like.
Words like freak and loser-
I know what kind of face says them.
Our teacher is ignoring it;
he does not have the strength to deal with it.
Or maybe he agrees with what's being said.
He agrees by talking math as the notebook
is pulled out of Anton's hand.
Even though he sees what's going on,
his back is turned. "
