Home Schoolin’

Since I was nearly five years old when
delivered to school by immigrant parents
who speak English with the artfulness and
precision of the masters and who maintain
their allegiance to the principles of Christianity

Even as I teeter toward the establishment of
a regime more inline with my spontaneity,
school, with its tolerance for stupid talk
and its adherence to decidedly un-golden
rules, was a bad fit for me.
