varying degrees of light

I read short stories last night, I read poems this morning.
I read poems in class, I recited lyrics after class,
I discussed a novel in class, then I put up posters.
I assigned Charles Baxter, J.D. Salinger and Flannery O'Connor.
I negotiated election, petition, promotion and politics.
I hit a ball, against a wall, over and over and over and over again.
