I was supposed to teach that class
but upon going in the students' eyes
went wide and they started fiddling
with their phones and seconds later
someone from the office rushed in
to tell me I was supposed to teach
this class remotely so could I please
proceed to a remote location before
starting the lesson which seemed
odd but being an adjunct who was I
to argue so I left the classroom and
the campus and wandered the streets
until I came to a temple at the base
of a hill with a pond running along
the side teeming with colorful carp
which gathered below my shadow
mouths agape but I had nothing
to offer them and no way to convey
my nothingness to them and all I
could do was hope my students
were somehow getting this.
