Do I Have Class?

Do I Have Class?

 

Was in the office for two hours

Suddenly felt something was wrong

Teachers have classes every other hour

How could I sit there typing along?

 

I hurried to the classrooms

Without the contents in my head

I asked students for their schedules

A girl offered her powder case instead

 

I need the schedule, not your dressing powder

All the boys burst into laughter

None showed me the schedule however

Because we don't use printouts anymore

 

I went to try the classrooms

One had already a Shanghainese teacher

The room is like a Spanish mission

So deep I could only hear her

 

The other classrooms were next to each other

So I waited there for the one without instructor

Then I would know if I had class the third hour

Though what to teach was still unclear

 

I am retired for about two years already

Yet this kind of dreams often returns to me

Am I so worthless that I have this anxiety

Instead of enjoying a life concerns free?

    Such dreams are most troubling and most poetically done.
