Secretary of Education

Middle School gym class. It was very hot and the girls started going into the gym early. But it was a pretty easy gig. The coaches were there and we just had free activities. But some of the girls would sit in the shade near the entrance to the locker rooms and even the coaches couldn’t make them do anything. I relaxed though, cause I figured the coaches were in charge and they couldn’t even get the girls to cooperate.

When the girls snuck in the locker room early, I tried to get them to go back outside but they crowded around the office wanting to buy water. I started yelling at them but then I realized I was getting angry and stopped and just let them flow all over me like spawning salmon looking for a mate, screaming, half-naked girls on a mission.

Where do the birds go when it rains? Oh there’s a dove, her head tucked in, sitting on the pool house roof. It’s pleasant to stare out the window at the pool boiling and bubbling as the raindrops hit the surface. There’s a blackbird, wings flapping, struggling against the wind, going nowhere. I choose to be like the dove, head tucked under my wing – not the blackbird, flapping against the current.

If Ben Lauden nuked Washington, D. C., eradicating a few pinstripes, how would the country go on? In the sequential presidential succession rule, the last person to take over as president would be the Secretary of Education. Imagine that! The Secretary of Education in charge of the country.
