one for the teachers

By | July 14, 2009 | 2 comments

just another bus ride,
an hour,
two,
it’s all the same.

arriving at my destination
the schedule’s to blame.
walk a block or two,
footsteps are all alike.
except when walking with the shadow,
drunk
alone
at night.

another english class,
teach the verb to “be”.
pay me 20 bucks per hour,
just an hour more for me.

30 minutes,
time’s up,
time to go.
it’s really money for nothing
cause my student didn’t show.

just another bus ride,
to my house I’m heading back.
getting paid for nothing,
teaching english ain’t so bad.
