Superposition
My folder from graduation sits on the backseat of my car,
and the rosters and instructions are in the recycling bin.
I have nothing to prepare for Monday, and I still know tomorrow is Monday.
I leave for vacation this Saturday, and I’m already on vacation.
I am employed, and I do not have work anytime soon.
I do not have any students, and I am thinking about my students.
I never want to work again, and I’m already excited for August.
Tonight, I’ll probably login to my email to tell people I’m not logging into my email.
I’ll watch a movie and ignore my stomach telling me to go to bed.
There’s nothing for me to do tomorrow, and I’ll wake up around 6:00am to get started

I’m a teacher, too and I totally feel this! Enjoy your summer.
Woo hoo!
I love how every line is a contradiction, great structure! I also appreciate the recycling bin shout-out😆
I like the idea that we can consider-prepare for the things that are not yet happening–very interesting. Nice writing, Kris.
