Swift Times

i met her
mom
we were
then co-teachers
in an old
college

now i am
still here
teaching
criminal law

his son
a fruit of
a broken
marriage
says
that his mom
is sending
the best
regards

i must
be so old

that time
his boyfriend
impregnated
her
he was his
student
jobless
and carefree
and
a drug
addict

this time
this boy
looks very
much like
her mother

too
brokenhearted
too careless
too gullible

i must be very old
time
is too unforgiving
