He stands in front of the class
A man beyond youth
but not yet old
Teeth yellow after unnumbered
cups of coffee
Yet,
his smile always expressed joy
He just hasn't smiled in awhile
He doesn't know what day it was
or even what year
But reality knocked the wind out of him
And he hasn't taken a breath since
The class is loud in youth
and heavy in despair
Yet, they seem to be holding their breath
Afraid of saying something wrong
something uncool
The class slowly settles down
down to silence
The class watching the teacher
watching them
You could hear a single breath
if there was one
"Ok class,
let's take a moment
and breathe"
