Sunday Scribblings: Oracle

My classroom
had no windows

so knowledge
waltzed around

the space
mingling with our

breath and settling
in the kids’ brains

since it had nowhere
else to go.

We were reading
Antigone and I was

explaining how Danae’s
father had been to an oracle

and discovered
that if she ever had

a son, he would grow
up to kill his grandfather.

To prevent that,
he locked his daughter

in a tower so no man
could get to her.

But he forgot about Zeus
who disguised

himself as a golden
rain and impregnated her.

The kids just stared
at me, thinking,

trying to imagine
that happening.

Finally, one girl asked,
“How?” and before

I could formulate
an answer,

a boy piped up,
“I guess Zeus

forgot his Trojan.”
Laugher

and giggles
somersaulted

and did jumping jacks
all around the room.

Question: Does anyone know how to insert those two little dots above the "e" in Danae? I tried inserting them as a symbol in Word but that just erased the e and added the dots. Thanks!
