    watching the moon
                        
			  	
    watching the moon
through the clouds, through
the ceiling...
neatly folded, the thoughts
I keep to myself

    while teaching
children I learn from them-
starting over

 I wrote this at 3:00 last night in bed. This is the paper I took out of the trash can to write on. I had forgotten about it until I found it in my bed today. Strange.

    do you see them,
the trees, frantically waving
their arms, warning us
of our future- or do you
only see the wind?
