slipping away

soon
they'll be gone
these lazy, serene, whatever-I-whim
summer days

soon
they'll be back
those crazy, insane, I'm-never-done
school days

summer
is slipping away
while
school
is nipping at my heels

let it slip
let it nip

an
I-can-make-a-difference
and
busyness-as-a-blessing
year
is about to begin

bring it on

  3. Deanna, YES I will be your teacher in college... except I don't think I'm qualified to teach in your program. Suzy, I'm not sure... maybe because you were out of school by the time I became a teacher? Or were you?
