the basics of life

they don't teach
you
the basics of life in
high school.
it's all trigonometry
and science,
learning
the periodic table,
so much history
to memorize.
they don't tell you
how to scramble
an egg, or fix a flat.
they leave out the part
about love
and marriage,
children
and all that.
