its time by Leonard M Hawkesas I straightened the map
at the back of the class
I saw St. Louis--
and thought of the two
meager times I passed through
its overcrowded mugginess--
I simply wanted to be Home--
fifty-three years in a classroom
preparing for that broad,
bright world beyond 04/19/2013 Author's Note: ... a random classroom moment that forced itself into a poem
