Here’s the thing about technology

I’m leaving the Convent in one day.
It hurts just to think of it.
In an exercise book on visualization, there’s one for healing sadness.
It tells you to imagine you’re walking away
from those you have known in the past.
I want to imagine I’m walking away,
but I’m watching a movie of the girls in the 7th grade robotics class.
They are moving, talking, showing their work
and I cannot forget
the year I spent teaching the girls at the Covent.
I drift in a timeless void
where I can never forget.
