Profession
I like a room full
of teachers, on a
Monday when
the rain is falling
on the parking lot
an hour after work,
so hard you can
almost hear it, and
everyone is here,
really, happily here,
talking about kids
because kids are
interesting, and
talking about the
ways we learn
because learning
is complex. I like
to see how one
teacher will circle
an idea on paper
and connect it with
a story from first
period, how others
nod, furrow brows,
smile in sudden
recognition. I like
sharing this serious
work, born out of
a deep human joy.
