MISS STANFIELD

The years have been kind

to Miss Stanfield.

Her hair, her stomach,

her breasts, all

have remained or improved

in our time apart.

Despite the time

she�s still in her prime.

I thought our separation

was irreparable

that we�d never rectify

our past, but

seeing Miss Stanfield again

behind that same desk

holding the same ruler,

disciplining the new boys

the same old ways, it�s

it�s like I�m back

in second grade

all over again.
