The problem with English teachers
is the way they strap words
onto paper
and try to torture a confession
out of them.

They take apart sentences
making sure they don’t miss something,
isolating each line from its body
because everything is better
separate
right?

They force testimonies
of meaning
and purpose, and they never think,
not once,
if you asked politely,
it would tell you.
