For twenty odd years
I taught staff
throughout the Southwest
a software for processing
interlibrary loan requests.
In a teaching lab in Arizona
a loudspeaker interrupted
me again and again
all morning long.
During the dreaded
after lunch session
it began once more.
I looked at the speaker
on the wall and pretended
to load a shell
into an automatic
and shoot the speaker into silence.
My audience applauded
for the the first
and last time.
