Teacher

Yes, I’m just that foolish girl.

Running in the hallways,

Jumping on the stairs,

Sliding down the banisters . . .

Of course I’m in elementary education;

I don’t want to work.

I know you don’t think I’m smart.

Any accomplishments I’ve had are piddly;

You’ve done much, much more

And much, much better.

But you never once asked me

If I did well in high school

If I have done well I college

If my feelings have been hurt.

Nope, you just kept on talking.

Now who do you think is the foolish one?
