Battery flat
the clock lied
and held back
twenty minutes
I needed, so I
missed the bus,
caught a taxi
and ran
to class.
Over sixty
students laughed
at an
over sixty
antipodean
teacher out of
breath - Foreigner
Fails Class,
I thought,
flagellating
myself. No
time for guilt -
time to debate
language tortured
on the rack of
sixty Chinese tongues.
Next week, an
abcedarium of
Chinese animals
(battery included).
