Pathos on the Classroom Floor

Oh, man.

A friend who teaches middle school found this note on her classroom floor. Not much could be more evocative and pang-inducing than this.

     A cry from the heart

     Read pathos between the lines.

     Hi. Do you like me?

Shades of Dan Fogelberg's “Another Ald Lang Syne:”

     Just for a moment, I was back at school.

     And felt that old, familiar pain.
