other lessons

what they don't teach
is vast.
how to scramble an egg,
change a flat
tire,
balance
a check book,
fold a fitted sheet.
but you can dissect
a dead frog
without a problem,
or tell
someone what Na is on
the periodic table.
quadratic equations,
cosine
and sine, you can
elaborate on that too.
stop a leaky
sink, or catch the right
bus
across town,
no.
and with love and heartache,
not a clue.
