• Anacrusis #15 - IOC Musings

  I click the microphone so the umpteenth student can once again tell the world the essence of Margaret Atwood’s “Spelling” for her taped IB Oral Commentary.

  I want to listen, but it seems so unfocused compared to the poet’s own words which are so precise and ordered.  I must pay attention.  She is trying so valiantly.

  I am distracted by a finch outside the window that darts in and out of my line of vision trying to land in some unseen nest hidden under the eaves.  I want to help it, but I don’t have wings.

  This, too, is a metaphor.
