For Jane Martin
I willl forever
]be paying off
The debts incurred
Every time I skinned my knee,
Sprained my hand
Or my heart..
Encounters brought new knowledge,
And now
It’s my obligation,
No, my pleasure
To teach what I learned
By explaining all the marks,
Nicks and cuts,
Their histories,
Their geographies,
Their biographies.
Can others learn from
My mistakes?
Have I learned from
The miscues,
The wrong words
At the wrong time?
Now
I serve...
