Whether it was learning long division,
Or naming all fifty states.
Nothing seemed to matter.
It all seemed so trivial.

The phantom that haunted me
Never left,
Not even in elementary.
I could not cope, nor concentrate.

Cafeteria feasts
Made of concentrate.
Paired with my inner confusion,
I tended to lose my lunch.

I tried to hold
Myself to a means
Of normalcy.
It wound up as ***** on my shoes.

Leo Tolstoi's "The Vision at Sea" ~ From memory: A priest visits 3 old men on a remote island. He spends the day teaching them the Lord's Prayer. He takes the skiff back to his ship. Several hours later a lantern is spotted miles away. Closer & closer it gets. It's the 3 old men running across the water. “Father! We've forgotten the prayer!” Exclaims the oldest of the bearded men, to which the priest replies, “It is you who should pray for us.”
