Words from a Teacher's Past, 92

Back at it. I've (mostly) recovered from a respiratory infection that knocked me out for nearly two weeks.


“Words, words, words.”
    Hamlet (2.2)

List #18: (i) preliminary, (j) surmise

Preliminary scores came back—
I didn’t do too well.
In fact my teachers cried and cried—
Then locked me in a cell.

I sit here in the dark right now—
With useless, weeping eyes.
They must be disappointed is
The best I can surmise.
