Rob at Writer's Island is leaving us with the following gorgeouos image. I interpreted it quite loosely.
when my student
refused to keep
her head up
during Silent Reading.
“I’m not sleeping”
she said. “I don’t care.
I want your head up.”
I returned to my own
reading then glanced up
a few moments later
and her head was down
again. “HEAD UP!”
Blue eyes flashed,
her head came up,
and she said, “I’m
not a fucking dog!”
The steadying hand
of experience reached
out and in a calm voice
I asked her to leave.
I continued with the rest
of the class. She slammed
the door on her way out.
I smiled inwardly,
thankful for the guidance
and wisdom
walking beside me.
