E-Mail to Herr Sefton

To: [Herr Wuschelig]
From: [Spazztastic!]
Subject: I find myself sitting on a bus watching a small boy...

...float down like fresh water
carrying a book I used to
asking if I want to share what he sees if only for a little while
and I do
and then asks if I want to give to him what I see if only for a little while
and I read to him
and then says to me he is going to show me the world
and starts reading me the sentences himself
his hands dancing back and forth
stumbling over words
not noticing all the time what is written
sometimes skipping whole lines

I know you teach Lit, right? But do you only teach like novels like Mark Twain and Dickens and crap? Or do you teach poetry too? Like, I mean, an only poetry class? 'Cause, y'know, I still need one more class next year and a poetry class would be awesome.

In a school the size of ours, one person counts as demand. One way or another, there will be a poetry class.

You do not have to, but you do make very good cake.
