Friday Afternoon and My Classroom Is Empty
And of course it would be better
if you were here, laughing and
asking wild questions and
taking selfies to post on Snapchat
when you think I’m not looking.
You text, while we wrote notes we would
pass in the hallways between classes.
Not so much has changed. Has anyone
ever remained engaged in Act IV
of Romeo and Juliet for an entire 40 minutes?
Still, it is nice to sit here in this
silent aftermath, this pen in my hand
and some things to think about without you.
You know how it is. We live inside our own
minds while the world dances around us.
