A Day of Esl Work

Sitting at my table 
  Waiting for students to arrive 
   Nearby an very smart Afro American 
is teaching science 
  A friend walks by 
  and we discuss 
comic book characters 
Moslems, Afro Americans, Israelis 
    walk by 
Nearby a student arrives 
   She is a Buddhist from Tibet
We discuss the Dalai Lama and the intractable problems 
   there 
   Later an African student comes by 
She is a model and actress 
  and has worked with Woody Allan (!)
   She wants to be a director 
I just want to finish my day

oh this is so cute. Like a snapshot of your day. I love that someone had worked with Woody Allen and you finished by saying: I just want to finish my day!
