My students freeze—
how out of place
that slope-intercept
equation on the whiteboard
in this literature class.
Scrawled in blue, graphed
and correctly worked.
It’s poetry, I tell them.
James Brush is a teacher and writer who lives in Austin, TX. He tries to get outside as much as possible.
Poetry can be more than just words jumbled together, I think. You *cough, cough* illustrated this nicely.
Thanks, Mark.
