Walking stuck to the walls, banging into doorjambs, many times stumbling for no reason, was there a stone there? Uneven floorboards? No. He also stumbled through the poems he mentally constructed, squinting haikus emerged from him the moment he began the class:

A path without steps

The wing of the bird touches

That virginity.

Duration. All-enduring.

The gold of your name

Amid the flowing water.

Under the pomegranates

I caressed your face.

As you slept?

Fifteen minutes? the dean had said. Yes, the sentence went like this: fifteen minutes is too much, Professor. Fifteen minutes? For me it was only a second. A little bee, the kind they call Little Star (don’t kill it, dad, it’s a Little Star), landed on the back of my hand. I think I watched it for barely five seconds:

It’s summer.

The little bee

Lands.

Shall I speak of Zeno?
