The numbers

I want to write a poem today
but the numbers are against me:

I teach in a room built for 9 people
I have 26 people today

I have 3 annoyingly annoyed case managers
in the computer lab, and 1 little man

in my only private space, my office,
doing psychological assessments. I have 8

new clients, and 1 sore back. I have a need
for 2 new contacts, and I have 1 stressful

job developer (who does great work) who
will be covering class later. I need to teach

for 4 more hours, and I have a meeting with
1 center director and a case manager

in an hour and a half.
