It's Saturday

and I'm in the southern Carolina
on the western side.

My love's cough rattles
ill weeks
his attention on video games
in lieu of teenagers' literary knowledge.
Dr. said
don't teach yet
you might give the sick to the kids.
Dave said
why not
they gave it to me.

This week
of 14 pages due
finally ended
and I am breathing.
25 take home pages
and 1 actual final
remain.
