how a moment is a lifetime

by Charlie Morgan

his scraggly hair hid his world;
but his demeanor and words held
him imprisoned; "drop me anywhere,
that's how i feel every morning anyway."
he said, [and like a gabe ricard
story where the protagonist also hid
between the lines.]


two women, soon to be his fellow-prisoners,
were listening so as to copy this behaviour.
like he was their mentor, and me, a passerby,
[a nosy passerby] hear this while i'm on my way
to teach a class in Careeer Exploration.
ha! he's already in full-swing with his and
he has two applicants already to interview.

Quite cryptic, Charlie.

I'd love to audit your class on career exploration sweet thang. The only problem would be you couldn't keep from laughing long enough, after you read the placard I'd wave at you from the back of the classroom, to teach it. Loved this.
