Sometimes on
Sunday I work 8 hours.
Sometimes not.

Usually there's too much to do,
Unless it's a short week or something
Un-
Usual is happening.

Now I'm
Numbering homework,
Now I'm
Noting papers.
Now I'm
Noticing the rain.
Not

Dancing in it though, just
Dosing off and
Deciding whether
Data Analysis
Deserves a
Day in the lesson plan.

All
A's would be easier.
Alas, some kids ya no tienen
Alas

(Y no las quieren).
You're
Yelling in class, I'll say tomorrow. But
Yes!
You're still learning (maybe).
