December 3, 2019-
I learned, at four, how to tie my shoes.
I learned, at eight, how to size my shoes.
I learned, at 66, that I’d been wearing shoes
two sizes too small,
for nearly two years.
My feet grew, when the rest of me
didn’t.
I learned, at five, how to read.
I learned, at ten, how to read
between the lines.
I learned, at thirty,
how to spot weasel words
in print.
People say what is not meant,
to avoid responsibility.
I learned, at age six,
how to add.
I learned, at age seven,
how to subtract, and
at eight,
how to multiply
and short-form divide.
I learned, at age nine,
how to do long division.
I learned, at age 20,
how to put two and two together.
Most people are more
than the sum of their parts.
We should all strive to be life long learners…
