What did you do at school
I asked.
Drew the alphabet
she said.
watched her draw her name
with greatest care
in her drawing book;
you must understand her style,
she feels the world as once we did
discards sophistication,
before she even knew it.
the "R" the wrong way round
"K" laid on its back
but all made sense,watching
saw the world as she did;
the drawings on the table
signed in felt nib strokes
reds and blues and why not!
