This slice is part of
of the March Slice of Life Challenge on Two Writing Teachers! #sol25. I’m slicing every day in March. Thanks for stopping by!
What if instead of writing I just
Checked and edited my progress reports?
Made sure my plans are solid for the rest of the week?
Did the dishes?
Did my laundry?
Watched more Gilmore Girls?
Read my book?
Stared into space for a bit?
Went to bed?
What if?
What.
If.
On a Thought 
And yet, we do this for ourselves, and also for our students. Better writers make better teachers. Thanks for taking the time to write (and to share with us).
I like the way you’ve attacked the to-do list. Or is an anti-to-do list?
Love your structure and the way it trickled down to the single “if.”

Yes, what if? It feels like the speaker of this poem is moving toward the very real possibility just by imagining it.
