Another poem about one of my students....
Those thick-rimmed glasses
suede fringe boots
and over-sized ear-flap hats
are completely you
unique, unapologetic, unbending
every ounce of you is
pure and true
never wavering from
your selfless beliefs
and attempts to
cure the world
you don't really understand
your own strength
and though I am
twice your age
next to you I pale
and feel I could be broken
by the power of
a single feather
