Teacher as Learner
Not the sage, not the answer-giver,
not the keeper of chalkboard truth.
But a wanderer with open palms
and a question in their chest:
What if I don’t know? What if
I follow too?
Come with me, I say. We’ll
chase the question, trip over
wonder, fail out loud.
And someone, always, will find
the way forward.
