or A Substitute Relearns Basic Algebra
James 3:1
these kids pile in
with bad dye jobs
terrible music
blasting from
oversized headphones
thumbs racing
over fancy phones
they expect me to be okay with the title
bud
they expect me to pronounce names
in languages I've never heard
correctly
they expect me to remember how to
find the slope of a line
solve for x
graph equations
they're dumbfounded
when I fail to meet expectations
still, when I do remember how to
find the slope of a line
and carefully explain
to the one student in class
actually working on the assignment
and she says:
Oh,
I get it
in an honest tone
I think I understand
