Tomorrow's Dreams

Turkish university students
Enrolled in English Class
Hoping that will help
Land them a position
After they graduate,
But they sit in class
Staring through each other,
With heads filled
With multilingual dreams
Of the people
They hope to someday meet
In distant lands.
For the males,
Russian is the language
Of interest,
And for the women,
It is Italian, French
Or possibly Spanish.
They gaze absent mindedly
About the classroom
Oblivious of each other,
And I laugh at the comedy.
