i am mimicking a giraffe
seiko-sensei is in the toilet
i sway
students semi notice
they are three
they will forget
grateful seiko doesn't see
will self to stop
hour later
ten-year-olds
teach
How's the weather?
It's sunny, rainy, cloudy, snowy.
handing in papers
i am swirling deep down
counteract body's pull
shift self
grateful seiko is gone
grateful they are handing in origami papers to me
i stare down at
papers flying onto palms
command self to not exit body
these kids
are wild
there is a busy street outside
stairway to class
right to it
please keep handing papers
sensei! sennnnnusei! kashi-sensei kashi sensei! o-kashi-sensei!
i look up at tomoya
haruhi, ayumu, the rest
It's cloudy!
eeh?
but i am standing and it is over
they just think i am looking at their work
some of them hug me goodbye
they all smile
hours later
back in orio
my alcove
me
and still
very cloudy head
