Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Tenure

I am sneaking in a bit of me time again.
Maniacal laughter here
In actuality, I sneak in a bit of work in between my me-times.
Luckily, they do not know
As no one keeps an eye on me anymore.
They are afraid of what they might see
And I have tenure.
No matter how insane I get,
This protects me.
It is my mantra and I despise it.
The good teachers do not need it,
And the bad ones depend on it.
It is also my curse.
And my friend.

Rhona Mcferran April 3, 2019 at 5:58 PM Glad you're sneaking a little "me" time in! ;) Caren Krutsinger April 3, 2019 at 10:38 PM My husband will roll his eyes when he reads this; he knows I am all about "me" time, on a daily, and often hourly basis.
