Nightmare: Part One
I was teaching again
The details are unimportant
Three students decided against me
For no reason of my own
Other than asking them to be true to themselves
I was true to myself and to them
But to no avail
My every action twisted and turned
The principal took their side
The parents took their side
I didn't need to be here so I left
As did two other teachers
Nightmare: Part Two
The Place: A dungeon
The Time: Spanish Inquisition?
The Role: A Priest
The Costume: A heavy hemmed to the floor red robe with hood
The Duty: Monitor the torturing of a miscreant
The Torture: Slowly being roasted to death in front of an open oven
The Experience: Sitting quietly as a witness, praying for the man's soul, intolerably hot, unable to breath myself, yet not forsaking my post
The Realization: I am also that miscreant, being covertly tortured by the church and slowly dying myself.
