A Gift


Standing in front of us,

with greying, sholder length hair

she shares her knowledge 

she gives us all that she can give.

Through Shakespeare

Millay, Hemingway, Tolstoy...

through plant based metaphors 

To the hypocracy of the American Dream

Every line housing a miraculous discovery

a new perspective of the world

syntax perfectly forging understanding.
