So I'm the first one in again,

 with the quiet and the window growing snow.

When I hear the furnace rouse itself from its slumber,

 somehow suddenly I know,

 as my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan,

 that I'm just your little "&."

When your voice springs from the intercom

 with announcements and reminders and a prayer,

I remember how you made me feel

 I was funny, I was thoughtful, I was rare.

 But like the jokes about my figure kids think I don't understand,

  I know I'm just your little "&."

After Christmas holidays

 you never asked to drive me home again.

And sometimes in the staff room I

catch your eye with "why'd it have to end?"

 But I know from how you worry at your wedding band

 that I'm just your little "&."

 At the last conjunction, after every other "and,"

 I was just your little "&."
