Snoop All You Want

boring meeting.
faculty
we have them weekly
every Wednesday it takes me an extra ten
or twenty-five minutes to get home
mandated 
Even though it usually talks about
teaching math and reading
I teach neither
I begin to write poetry
A co-worker asks, “What are you writing?”
it is about her. She glances at it.
but can read nothing.
I am glad I know shorthand.

Right; although sometimes when I am just tossing out rhyming words "for fun" I allow them to read it. They do not have long attention spans, and do not read long.
