the three lessons

while I make myself legible to the world
my body, who has only one owner 
is learning to rebel 

someone holds the book, another gets to ask 
the question and I learn to answer 
without making things up

I am not a child, haven't been one for years
you teach me my past tense, I learn how
to bear being human
