Wednesday’s Irrational God

Wednesday’s Irrational God

Your Latin professor, who is seven months pregnant,
Was extremely flushed and you felt obligated
To walk her to her car.

You are still very much interested in my story—
You talked to someone the other day
For twenty minutes about it.

You do hope this isn’t the direction your life is taking, 
So formal, arranging times.

You will be free all day
Next Wednesday not having to work
And your afternoon class being cancelled.

But if I will suggest a time next week 
You are sure you will be able to drop by, you
Probably can’t stay long but Wednesday right after
Latin class looks the best to you right now so
If that would work for me, let you know.

You are sorry that your life is not convenient 
For me, it is not too convenient for you either:
Life is not easy in the hands of an irrational god.
