Difficult day...
all around

But...sure...I can see a Light at the End of
THEIR TUNNEL

Student #1-
He needs to supervised 24/7
TUrn around and something will be missing
Something will be broken
...He has stolen a Prsim from Science class
...He has broken my "Tampon Tower"
(a ceramic castle that was made by a former student at the treatment center...used for holding tampons in an all girls school...now holds pencils...or USED TO)
Let HIM loose in the library for a computer project
and he IS doing EVERYTHING but what he is supposed to be doing!

Student #2
Comic Relief...but at ALL the wrong TIMES
Today, during MATH he pushes ALL of my buttons
(I wear a zippered sweater)
...but STILL
He is NOT funny today!

Student #3
My Favorite
...as I am HIS
But TODAY
He wanders the halls
with no remorse
and NO behavior modification tactics
can keep him in the classroom...
let alone in his seat


I drive away from the building today...
Not looking at flocks of birds
...but
As I cross the railroad tracks that I can not find an alternative route away from...
I speed up
Close my eyes
and feel the Bumps

Did not see a light
there was NO tunnel
No train
No birds
