1st Period
Look at what the teacher left me.
 
 Oh good she has work for them to do.
 
 I don't know French, don't care about French, used to read a lot of Rimbaud
 
 yeah France!
 
 Occurred to me that most French speakers aren't from France but from African countries
 
 what does it matter, I don't know
 
 how will knowing anything help me control these students
 
 students come in at electronic bell
 
 they sit before me
 
 Stand up
 
 I stand up before the class, a tan 31 year old man, shiftless college graduate
 
 “The teacher has assigned you work to do, it is on the board. Please do the work quietly.”
 
 The students are too tired to talk.
 
 I don't care.
 
 Sit down and read the Corrections by Jonathan Franzen.
