Whose words these are you darned well know.
My house is not on campus, though
I’ve stumbled in by instinct. Guts
have steered me through the traffic flow.<\/p>\n

My teenagers must think me nuts.
I work when they lie on their… beds;
you smile upon their summer ease?
Through morning steam the concrete juts<\/p>\n

and swallows cars and spits out keys
and drivers all who scent the breeze
and recognize their own mistake.
It’s not relief but just a tease.<\/p>\n

I give my workday yoke a shake,
the methyltheobromine<\/a> take.
They tell us we must be the best.
But if no mug, I’m just a flake.<\/p>\n

The summer’s lovely, hot and blessed,
but Friday morn finds me all stressed.
\nNo beach for me, not half-undressed;
it’s hours to go before I rest. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
