"Escape"
By Theresa Hossfeld
I look inside me and I don’t see it
I don’t see the power
The confidence you say I have
You say I can do anything
That I’m sure of myself and my intentions
And I wonder
But I don’t know
If it’s all there
Waiting for the opportunity
to jump into you
And try to help you
Fix you
Ask you
Why? Because I don’t know
I wait anxiously
Feeling my stomach
A block of ice
Chipping away, melting
then freezing up again
Who can I follow?
Cuz I don’t want to lead
I ask myself every question
There are temporary answers
But I know more
Like everybody seems to know more
And I still don’t know how
Cuz it’s nice to ignore confrontation
Avoid conflict
Watch my rainbow
And let you watch yours
But the universe knows more
I must take this test just like everyone
Takes tests
I am closing in on the sky
Hoping it will try to escape
And I know I will let it get away
Like I let a lot of things get away
Cuz then I won’t have to continue the
search
"For my power"
I sit in my
crunched-in
restraining
desk, they call it,
with my paper
and my pen
and I am
supposed to see
the blackboard
around the tall boy
en frente de mi
and my mind on my
text and my pen on
the page I am
supposed to
for me
para mi futuro.
but my head
won’t translate
this language
log base b of a squared
carbon monoxide
reacting with phosphorus
I don’t react
I see through the paper
and my pen writes
poetic equations
my mind plus my life
equals
something beyond this.
doodles litter my
notebook like snowflakes
dancing through the trees
beyond the window
the lined paper
lines with soul
forgetting cosines
life without phosphorus
and my life
mi futuro
beyond desk-chairs
And dull muraled halls
j. v., varsity and
setting the curve
school play and G. P.A.
textbooks
learning without
knowing
without room
to learn how
to know myself
to be myself
trial and error
minus lab write-up
feeling without
a thesis
learning youth
mi futuro
learning how to live
without a textbook
without a teacher to
correct grammar
to live to learn myself
to live to know myself
to live to be somebody
who’s learned how
to live
