"The Wait"

Once Melissa and I waited
Overeager first year teachers
Common courage calling us
From the darkened copy room

Overeager first year teachers
Unsure of our untried plans
From the darkened copy room
Hopeful as the morning

Unsure of our untried plans
We were sleepy silence
Hopeful as the morning
Buzz! the copier sprang to life

We were sleepy silence
Anticipating student zeal
Buzz! the copier sprang to life
Efficient hum; efficient hum

Anticipating student zeal
Common courage calling us
Efficient hum; efficient hum
Melissa and I waited
