AUDITING STUDENT


When I taught Constitutional Law a djinn,
Auditing the course, sat towards the back
Growing bored, he'd sometimes animate
Small men made of fire and send them
Scurrying around his chair. Some of them
Would  wander down the aisle
To strut behind me, imitating my gestures.
I partly blame this for the university's
Refusal to grant me tenure or to now admit
I ever worked there
