Katydid's cranking up. Ratchet or two the other night.
Small beginnings. More extended early this a.m..
Getting into gear.
Soon the whole live-long night all night long that night
music and not a little. A lot.
Cicada during the day--lingering zzzzZZZZZZzzzzsss
across the fields.
(Greeks claimed that was the sound of dead philosophers)
Anyway
You know what that all means. Our students--back from
all over, biking to Oklahoma, hiking the Appalachian trail,
exploring South America, delivering pizzas, rowing Long
Island Sound, running a Lake Champlain waterfront,
fishing in Alaska, interning in Wall Street & Capitol Hill,
texting, teasing, making music, making movies, making out
summer time summer time and now back in the classroom
to get an education, listen to what I say, ready to take notes
and quizzes and examinations, write thesis-driven term papers,
conduct laboratory experiments, meet deadlines, exercise
study skills, work on wellness and empowerment issues same
as it always was.
Gives me a little tingle.
Somewhat fear in a hand full of must.
Deja view all over again and again.
