Mr. Travis
My older brother’s 8th grade teacher
began dropping by for dinner every Sunday
during summer break. He had no wife or kids
and my parents must have thought
he looked needy. He always wore the same
rumpled pants, and short sleeved white shirt.
Since he was a teacher they thought he'd be
a good influence on us 6 boys, especially
since he didn’t joke around too much.
He even helped with swimming lessons
though that seemed to make him nervous.
My dad must have noticed something one day
after swimming when we were changing
into our clothes. I remember being a bit puzzled
when Mr. Travis suddenly stopped coming by.
