So I'm the first one in again,

with the quiet and the window growing snow.

When I hear the furnace rouse itself from its slumber,

somehow suddenly I know,

as my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan,

that I'm just your little "&."

When your voice springs from the intercom

with announcements and reminders and a prayer,

I remember how you made me feel

I was funny, I was thoughtful, I was rare.

But like the jokes about my figure kids think I don't understand,

I know I'm just your little "&."

After Christmas holidays

you never asked to drive me home again.

And sometimes in the staff room I

catch your eye with "why'd it have to end?"

But I know from how you worry at your wedding band

that I'm just your little "&."

At the last conjunction, after every other "and,"

I was just your little "&."
