Took something to the Mass Comm secretary, and she said, “Are you still teaching?”

“Yes,” says I, wondering why everyone, without fail, asks me that question. “Why do you ask?”

“Oh, we haven’t heard any uproar lately. You must be laying low.”

People say that sort of thing, too, and though I don’t answer, in my heart I’m dealing with the fact that I-- honestly and truly-- do not remember causing any uproar, ever, and certainly that I never intended to. What on earth is meant I honestly can’t say. Probably, if I were told, I would respond, “You can’t be serious.”
