the old dining table
for homework.
each child to his own chair,
his or her
own space.
the pencil sharpener
attached
to the kitchen door.
blue lined notebooks,
pencils and pens,
compasses
and protractors,
rulers and the nubs
of pink erasers.
the overhead
light
beaming down.
a dog or two beneath
the table
mistaking it all for
dinner.
