The last time you were drowning

Poetry 1 Minute 
The last time you were drowning,
they came to see to you after school.
You were washing mugs in your classroom sink.
They watched you,
said you were methodical —
a word you associate with supervillains.

Scars in your vision danced on the whiteboard behind their head
when you talked about your week.

He/they. I teach English at a junior high school in western Washington. Outside of work, I worry about a myriad of things and spend time outside.
