You can rarely say what you truly want
I want to say that I'm thoughtful
Heavily
more than I've been in my own memory
I think things are changing and will continue to do so
In a way that is not necessarily to our liking
Teaching ESL brings you a lot of information
A lot of feeling
From Mexico, Vietnam, Egypt, Libya, Congo, Iraq
Things I don't know
You can't know the lives that push you to wake up
You listen
I try
And when I wonder I can sit outside and feel the night breeze
maybe this is where I can return if my life becomes like a stranger

We still have birds
trees
bees
squirrels
and plants of all kinds
I think we can find something new
that we lost
and find hope that while things change
they continue to change
