...shared "I Got The American Right" at Garfield High School and a student dared me to write a poem on the spot, so I got out my look around the room technique, and here 'tis:
HUMANITAS
My face feels out of order
One eye higher than the other
I'm a beautiful pig
Posing by a big flower
I say welcome to my world
It's time to draw hearts
Walk through open doors
Dream about college days
Then I get a light bulb
In the TV screen of my brain
I am turning into Shakespeare
See, my forehead rises
Like a proud pinata
Standing firm but fragile
Like a row of books on a shelf
We'll all be dust in another century
