World History

What a wonderful subject to study.
Old to new, it’s intriguing, to say the least.
Rail-thin, curly haired man 
Lulling me to sleep- not so intriguing.
Doodling and drawing trumps ancient Egypt and
   Mesopotamia every Wednesday night.                     


He yammers about the things I’d love to know,
I write poems and pretend to write notes.
Sitting to my right is my distracted boyfriend
Typing away and surfing the web,
Only once in a while does he take a real note.
Really? The professor is reviewing the chapter with a
   and a hand comparable to a third grader's.


Yawn…

Work

I was fighting the clock.
Time was winning
for what seemed like an eternity...
But at the first second of the seventh hour,
I pulled ahead,
punched out,
got in my car,
and won.

Po- ...

Poem.
Pome.
Po- uhm.
Po- ehm.
Po- im.

Who wants cookie-cutter poems?
Pomes?
Po- uhms?
Po- ehms?
Po- ims?
