Ginko Trees in Autumn
Ginko trees
line two sides of the school’s playing field.
They’ve been turning different shades of golden yellow during all of
November. I stand at the rear of the
classroom while Kojima-sensei drones on with the grammar lesson. Her English pronunciation is bad, but she’s
the type who doesn’t take constructive criticism, no matter how delicately or
gently it’s given. So I stare out the
windows to keep my face from reacting to her words.
They’re best admired
from afar, ginko trees. Although pretty,
they stink.
