Where Did I Learn That? - Noaa Rienecker
Where did I learn that?
I can’t even remember,
It’s been true so long.
Climbing up the rope,
descent looks embarrassing,
letting go fatal.
Look at this fort I built!
Look at the time I put into
Its flags and artillery
Look at the blood and tears I’ve spilt!
I learned who I am
From someone else, god knows why
but it’s all I’ve got.
Immersed in colleagues’
familiar miasma,
I must hold my own.
