a lesson in mathematics

3 hrs fo sleep from 5am-8am
stressing, thinking , preparing a lesson plan for 30 minutes about animals
wake in a rush, bust into grab a tooth brush
8 tanzanian women whom all work for st mary's school
they want a increase in their package or perhaps just a change in scenery
1 man with a masters degree from the phillipinees
land of Tagalug, my friend naomi & 7100 islands plus 1 large one
commonly know as the nation-state
plus me, without credentials or certificate but....
i know 5 children at the school and have been there 3 times
i wear me volunteered badge- unemployed & flexible
1 week to prepare a 3hr lesson plan for 30 X 2-5 year olds
34 people cramped into dalla dalla heading to posta
42 minutes of surfing and grasping at the celing of a mini van
23 postcards to mail @ 60 cents each plus ndizi kama mia moja
countless business man trying to sell used clothes imported from places like canada
1 boy sheltered by his mama holding an umbrella; begging for money
his head the size of a watermelon-very swollen and dwarfed body
