My Teacher's Valentine

Assembling my unruly thoughts
The practical comes first 
I try to focus on the rhythm
Of their confusion like a classroom
Of raucous kids before the teacher
Walks in and they all rush
To take their places
Three Greek words
Are written on the board
But no hands go up
To say what they mean
And the teacher wrapped
Up in some poem is staring
Out the window again
