laboratory

some things we are taught
like carbon is rarely any other color than black
eels will appear only if you give them glass to eat
blonde means all-american, automatic tired smiles
plaid hands you courage and asks nothing in return
and no matter how many times it embarrasses you,
the fact remains — you are not alone.

don't say you want to be a teacher.
everyone has taught me so many things already
and i'm not going to forget any of it
