Fighting the Urge to Vomit
There was so much I wanted to tell them
I had bullet points
diagrams
Words of Wisdom
all ready to infuse
into their fertile minds
There was so much I wanted to tell them
So much they needed to know
These brand new teachers
So much about classrooms
So much about kids
So much about parents
So much about themselves
There was so much I wanted to tell them
But I had been where they were
So instead of vomiting
My entire New Teacher 101 script
I thought
All this can be saved ‘til later
I said
Everyone take a deep breath
We’re going to meditate
