The world map 

Disappeared off the board

And rested on his orange back. 


Maybe now he had enough

To sway the opinion of his lover

The light in the projector.


She despised him, 

For she knew his soul 

Was attached to the sun 

The goddess of the Earth. 


But my brief friend fought

With his lover, 

Trying to explain to her, 

That even if he loved another, 

She was his 

And he would covet her.


The room flashed

From white to black

From grey to white 


Their quarrel reached its climax,

 Desperately, the tiger pressed his head 

To the artificial light,

And whispered words of love and forgiveness. 


The room was dark 

As she made her choice. 


She forgave him, 

And  in gratefulness 

He stayed pressed against 

The warmth that she offered. 


Until their love was cut short, 

By the fatal swoop of reality. 


Ah, 

It was just a moth, class.

Now, let's resume the lesson.
