6:00 a.m.
Alarm blares
back to work
life begins
the classroom kind
teens flutter
to their desks
asking questions
with answers written in unread syllabi
cold coffee awaits
a chug to the next five minutes between my next class and restroom relief
lunch cold
no salad
just tuna
quick room refresh
no scent
is it three o’clock yet?
hurry
I must repeat
tomorrow.
