the screen...

smiling teenage faces
and a waving hand hello
too soon
a clicked goodbye
on the Google Meet screen #tanka pic.twitter.com/M6yF2GdjbD

Adore the young teenagers in my classes... But in spite of the cheery hellos as soon as they appear on the computer screen..it's just not the same...Often, I feel tears welling at the end of a Google Meet...often...

less Google Meet, please...

I wish I had that choice...(Not Zoom but Google Meet for me)... And more of the same this week...That face to face screen is amazingly confronting and exhausting...sighhhhh https://t.co/u5G8AgBcmS

screened meetings...

endless screened meetings
faces scrunched in unreal rooms
waiting to breathe out#haiku
