Joel Chace - A Lesson

 She speaks the sentence.  Then, a

                                                                                          






student at the board writes, 

In English, there are three 







to’s.  Next one, …there are

                            three too’s. 












                                                                                                             Finally,…three two’s.   

                                                                                                  Prof:  “So, 

you see it?”  Usual 







     silence.  

“No one?”  







Usual blankness.

                                                            Prof

                          again:  “And how about










these:

                 ‘ I watched my mother 

   exhale for the final time.’  ‘My 







little boy looked up with his 

                                                                            sad face, and smiled.’  

‘We saw fog spread







across river flats.’”

                                                                                                                Usual

              inscribing in notebooks.
