The Tear
A poem
It starts off gracefully as a single entity, ready to transcend and accommodate eternity.
A barren canvas of endless potential, ready to be shaped and become essential.
It is accepting and pleasant, trusting and present.
It takes a smile and makes laughter, it resembles a fable much sought after.
But never too long until the core is split, waiting too eagerly to be found and quit.
A creeping tear revealing what was but hidden, waiting till the damage's done lest it's called unbidden.
What once was one, now is over and done.
What took darkness and made some light, never showed the gloom that's holding it tight.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
