my favorite
teacher said aloud
to me so everyone
could hear
you have a
flair for words
I was
embarrassed for her cliché
but her
proud words marked
and mocked
and stalked me
my whole
life with their lie
because it
was words who had me
not the
other way around
I loved
letting language use me
and run
through me whenever
I could get
out of its way
just to hear
what it had to say
