wheeling dreams—
nocturnal sorts—swishing in
a black cup of sky
Teaching
11/26/20: Cooking
how much is
simply smoke—first reality
seared?
11/7/20: Hiding in Plain Sight
on childhood maps, all
encompassing words stretch
border to border
7/23/20: Dreaming In the Form of a Junior High Filmstrip
only
calm tones identifying
scenes moving
7/12/20: Tutoring Vs. Teaching
censure set
aside—less tutting and more
breathing
6/12/20: Turntable
the needle—as I
nap—circles its drain, lifts,
lands, and starts again
5/29/20: Threshold
nearly awake—my
sixth grade life science teacher
tells me I’m dreaming
4/18/20: Virtual Learning
cup to wall
listening to a neighbor’s
sonata
4/3/20: Advice for Chapter Divisions
mimic songs
stretching through stringed syllables
no space to inhale
3/7/20: On the Playfulness of Error
mid-paragraph, my
missed typo surfaces and
dances in plain sight
haiku streak
