Tuesday Class

Tuesday lasses we all have classes get up and go there’s no time to waste join the flow there’s no reason to wait everyone’s hustling coffee guzzling bus shuttling paper shuffling syllabus assessing apple-watch checking there’s a fall-like feeling making things more appealing file off of the bus and join the crush trudging up science hill thru the doors up the stairs climbing in pairs, in class, at last, setup and relax. I open my binder and hand in the assignment the guy beside me can’t find it. and the TA moves on the guy’s upset and I get it he’s frantic and grim I pretend I’m not watching him as he ransacks his rucksack too late, they’re taking roll carelessness takes its toll
