As if his students give a (beep) about some dead Russian that Swenson ritually exhumes to support his loser opinions. And yet just mentioning Chekov made Swenson feel less alone, as if he were being watched over by a saint who wouldn’t judge him for the criminal fraud of pretending that these kids could be taught what Swenson’s pretending to teach them. Chekhov would see into his heart and know that he sincerely wished he could give his students what they wanted: talent fame, money, a job.”<br /><br />Happy Birthday Kristin 2010Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368511060345939464.post-32389543800347556792009-12-19T19:38:12.813-06:002009-12-19T19:38:12.813-06:00A lovely poem, Kristin.
