seven hours of sleep
more than usual
skin nicer
head less pain
not tired when wake
let's do this again
i care about you
i also care about me
i keep working
today
juggle, write, study, teach-
i laugh with students, genuine smile for the first time in three weeks
plays game, actually have fun doing so
listen to them, we interact. i connect. care again. there is a difference.
we study spicy/salty/bitter/sour/sweet
i have them close their eyes
place little morsels of different things in their palms
they taste, describe, make sentences.
i praise them, and it is not fake.
they try,
participate,
smile when they can,
even though they are tired.
