announce to your students
they will be leaving with
a parting gift, from you
tell them:
this is crappiest, most inexpensive
present ever
or
pure potential
a prize to treasure and wield
with power and passion
some will discard
others stow in a backpack
or put on a shelf
then the rare few
they will write and remember
until all that is left
is a worn eraser
at the end of a pinkie-sized
black wooden pencil remnant
the graphite gone
on to bigger things
like your students
