He says no with his head
But he says yes with his heart
He says yes to what he loves
He says no to the schoolmaster
He’s on his feet
He’s being questioned
And all the problems are set
Suddenly he is gripped by wild laughter
And he erases it all
Figures and words
Dates and names
Sentences and snares
And despite the master’s threats
To the jeers of the infant prodigies
With chalks of every color
On the blackboard of woe
He draws the face of happiness.
