A poem for V.D.

There are times when you try
to give constructive feedback to a student
delicately attempting to help them reflect on their past behaviors
that have hindered them from success
and their ears seem to be blocked with wax and unrealistic dreams
such that they hear nothing yet respond to everything
with certainty
that means nothing
and all you can do is gently slide your hand down their face
and tell them, "Shhhh."
