My New Poem ...


A memory: I'm a high-school teacher in a small, rural Midwestern town. One unusually warm, spring day I decide to wear my Birkenstocks to school--the sandals that caused a scandal. Oh, my! About a week or so later a student in my World Literature/College Prep class proudly walked in ... in her new Birks! I can still see the smile on her face .... Her name was Amie. She is now a proud teacher in that same rural town with a very loving family.

In June, she posted a picture of her summer laundry. Get a load of that Cadillac-clothesline ... One thing I hate about living in an apartment ... is that I don't have a clothesline ...
