Read the following poem: "At the Open House" I arrive early, as always, so my shoes can learn the hallway. The teacher's desk is a small country ruled by paperclips and sharpened pencils. My son's name sits on a cubby in letters I practiced at home, as if my hand could tutor his future. Other parents lean in bright clusters, laughing like they belong to daylight. I read the posters twice, pretend I am deciding which one I like. When the teacher says, "Any questions?" my mouth fills with pennies. I nod, grateful for the nod's silence, then smooth my coat as if it were him. Which inference about the speaker is best supported by the line "my mouth fills with pennies"?
