A boy was brought to my house:
I was told he needed straightening out.
He acts aggressive towards me
I am pleasant back.

Before he leaves, I offer him a gift
Habaneros from my garden.
I tell him they’re crazy hot
That he should wear gloves to cut them.
He eats one whole-
Then freaks out.

Later, after drinking a gallon of my milk
He questions my ethics and asks
“Why don’t you lie?”
While his head is in my toilet.

I do my best to hide my laughter.

Lack of morals
-Making me sick
-Making me sad
I cannot wait to be freed.

After last class
-No goodbyes
-No thank you’s
Just this empty room.

I travel miles to teach my students,
Everyday the same journey,
Traffic jams and bad drivers.

My students travel too-
They make sacrifices I cannot know,
I try to make it worthwhile.
