My student’s are way older than I am.
Never the less they arrive at 8 a.m.
with Laptops and I-Pads and Tablets
and photo phones and look to me for
instruction-for-credit.
While I inform them on “Fiction: an
Introduction,” they vet what I say on
line varieties of literary experience
before I finish a paragraph because
they can.
Some sneak-videoize me & my charisma
surreptitious to send off to buddies at
Macalester, say, or Hampshire—other
liberal schools.
Look: be here now
(school and be schooled)
Can you see us now?
Much older than me—media literate
and tech savvy like anything.
“Here,” I say, power pointing for emphasis.
“10 salient characteristics of Fiction.”
Remember them.
