Brain Empty

Sometimes, when I'm in a workshop, and it's 3:30, and I've been sitting all day, my brain goes numb. It's empty, so empty. My energy goes away, sugar is not even helping, caffeine just makes me sick at this point... but... I wrote a poem...

Why am I here?

To write
To think
To be with other teachers
who write
and think
To gain focus
To re-energize
To create
To remember
why
I love my job
why
I do what I do
why
I am effective
To connect
with other teachers
other writers
other human beings
during
hot
summer
days
while
drinking iced coffee.
