NaPoWriMo Day 5 (My second attempt)

during the untimed 30 minutes
 
gabriel numbly stares
celina checks for comma errors
these are the players
michael thirsts and hungers

celina checks for comma errors
luis fingers a device in his pocket
michael thirsts and hungers
veronica counts rubber bracelets

luis fingers a device in his pocket
gabriel checks his fauxhawk
veronica counts rubber bracelets
two boys mouth out fauxtalk

gabriel checks his fauxhawk
vero graphs positive correlations
two boys mouth out fauxtalk
siu recalls the order of operations

vero graphs positive correlations
lisa wonders if she is pregnant
siu recalls the order of operations
ben swears time is stagnant

lisa thinks she is pregnant
celina's lips are moving
ben swears time is stagnant
he feels the time he is losing

celina's lips are moving
gabriel numbly stares
he feels the time he is losing
and these are the players

It comprises a series of quatrains, with the second and fourth lines of each quatrain repeated as the first and third lines of the next. The second and fourth lines of the final stanza repeat the first and third lines of the first stanza.
