POETRY

I may Never Be

a free verse poem on the truth of things

I may never be Country club-dressed and rare roast beef fed, linen napkin in my lap.

I may never be well-read and celebrated for my art.

But I am a chrysalis.

In my mind I have 26 letters I can churn into words and fold into butterflies.

By my art I am set free.
