What I Don’t Understand is: What Goes Through Your Feeble Mind?

I don't get it.

Four years of psychological study, and I still don't understand you.

As I stand at the podium at the front of the class, watching these kids, I think about you and your words that have been riding through my mind on this 8-track minecart, going around and around...

You need some goddamn peace and quiet.

But I stand here, supervising. These kids are laughing. They're talking about passions, about relationships, and future plans. These kids are dreaming and sharing their dreams with their peers. Laughs fill the room. Mulitple conversations at one time, strung together by words and sentences that create this web of connections and vulnerability and trust. So complicated. So intricate by design...

And yet you need some goddamn peace and quiet.
