S. Thomas Summers
Freshman English Teacher

Someone has drawn a bag
of testicles under the door knob.
A blizzard of yellow chalk
powders the board.
The kid in the back row
wonders if Thoreau ate
locusts and honey,
like John the Baptist,
and hopes his penis
will grow as thick as
the knob Miss Dallia caresses.
