To be or To Be Basically
A teacher
they tell me
my mother
a teacher
my blood
spews knowledge
but I
Do not
art
music and passion
not hydrogen
atoms
or genes
My mother
so smart
feeds me
from her brain
imbedded
as a child
to educate
less practical
more freeing
unsupported
more empowering
ideas
that they
do not
understand
This poem is about:
Me
My family
