Teacher Duties Summarized

The sand, the fog, the moths
specific detail edge to edge.
I didn't know dark was so lightless.
Except the moth
furry pink
orange like the cat
on Tom Clark's blog
entrancing, except the antennae
reminding one of outer space
robots, mechanical duty.
Short, fluttery lifespan
about what, ten minutes or so?
About the time it takes
to introduce a lesson,
an anecdote.
