Never Too Old Or Unconscious to Be a Life-Long Learner
My husband and I attend community college
together and enroll in three subjects
Sir Elton John proceeds first to be classroom
professor and teaches via Zoom
The pesky fourth grade teacher of olde
with the flaming red hair meets us next in designated
classroom with Rainforest Cafe inspiration and
faux cave walls hugging round tables and chairs
Dim lighting whispers mystery, suspense, foreboding
Books from lost and found
not the internet
serve as texts
Third time is charm except it’s not
since we can’t find the meeting place
It is undecided who has the loudest
personality of the two teachers
Husband shakes his head
Laughter bubbles out of me
It is decided who hates it the most
I open my eyes and feel instant belly quakes
