Kitchen Table

A poem about studying at home.

Fractions waited beside the cereal bowl. The pencil rolled under the bills.

At the kitchen table, the whole house learned to make room for one hard question.

Mistakes as part of learning.

The paper wore a gray weather of erased attempts.

I used to call it failure. Now I know the page was showing its work.

Last Problem

The last problem did not open like a gate.

It opened like a stubborn jar, slowly, with both hands.
