Poem: The Fur Needs Air

The fur needs air,
he said. Don't leave it in the casing.
It needs to breathe. I'll see what I can do.
It will be quite expensive. But I am
the only dry cleaner in Silesia
who gets the job done.
I use the old-time method,
extremely toxic, dangerous to myself
and other humans
and a scourge of the environment.
Film stars and crooners, divas and other folk
come here from Warsaw
to have me clean their furs.

You must be mindful,
have a care, but then, who knows.
My old lady
when she started to put on the pounds,
couldn't wear the fur,
put it away for our daughter.
Wouldn't you know,
she turned out twice as fat as her mother,
twice as fat as her mother,
that's how it is.
I'm telling you.

That Fatal Kiss

A short essay by one of my students:

Fatal Kiss
Recently tragic message arrived to us from USA. Young girl died after her boyfriend's kiss.
Initially nobody knew what was reason of death of young, healthful girl. Toxicological research that carried after her death showed shocking truth. Reason of death was allergy on nut butter. As it happens, that boy was perpetrator of danger had eaten sandwich with nut butter before kiss. There is tragic and incredible history but real.
The main conclusion which comes to mind after this history is it that we don't know day neither hour. This tragedy has touched not only girl's family but also her boyfriend who has contributed to this tragic case.
Although, time cures wounds, this boy doesn't take the nut butter for mouths to end of life.
