Fifteen hours ago I have my view
from the bottom floor classroom
as always. But the skinny cat walks
on the roof tiles this time.
They´re vases turned upside-down
with the insides long gone in some unfortunate setting.
And I am wondering if he is hungry
and if they were flowers
or just some potted plant
when I decide to look in my dictionary to learn how to say
"the ghostly things are especially dazzling, no?"
Teacher smiles, but however dazzling
I can’t drink the milk or the water here.
