My mind’s blank again;

the mirror reflects the room:

my students droop on their desks

like fruit left to rot.

I put on my socks.

The sun slides across the sky.

I take off my socks.

Wind tosses the leaves

ecstatically to the air–

Summer is broken!

All day my eyes ache

from reading student essays:

Flowers grow so slow.
