I am trying to come to terms with the two-year college I'm teaching at, and am having just the same feelings.<BR/><BR/>Rhetorically, the most pleasing surprise for me is "you weren't" in the last line, where one expects "I wasn't" or "they weren't" (although "you weren't" fits with the metaphor of a student absent from class, of course).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's a lovely poem and really helped me feel more at peace.
