Sometimes
words, thoughts, ideas
crystallize from nowhere
even as I struggle to fathom
where it is headed to
the urge to regurgitate is
so compelling that
I have to but put it up
sometimes I struggle
to understand the nervous
energy that propels thoughts
implores expression
even risking comprehension
yet, I write
each time every time
from within to without
or vice versa
churning a medley
of rehashed remixes
floating in and out of consciousnesses
meek
ferocious
unique
or just the same
time will tell
all I know is catharsis.

I hope you show this to your students. It is an important lesson. But even if you don’t share, I’m sure that your attitude and manner in class conveys that special lesson.
