That I Knew Her

I must be fascinating
to meet:
an enigma of style choices,
wild hair, and holy sneakers
a.k.a pre-k teacher

What seals the deal
is all in a facial expression,
the one I make when I am trying
to act serious

My five-year-old student
Taleen captured it perfectly:
shock mixed with horror

Recess!
