Visiting assistant professor

Sun, 07/27/2014 - 18:14 -- oldnews

Strolling towards the front of the classroom

Clear gray eyes

piercing

seeing all

adorned by lids heavy with knowledge

eyelashes impractically long

goofy smile that melted all self-erected shields

announced as the visiting assistant professor

the warmth brought upon by the professor was not to last

because for them it was only a 'visit'

but for me

it was so much more
