--for my teachers
I was ten years old back when I was asked
to deliver the speech “I Have a Dream.”
Summit Elementary School, sixth grade.
I was a very serious child.
I could hold an adult conversation.
In English or Spanish and write well too.
I won a mathematics competition.
But did I know anything about you
Dr. King? Though I heard the tiresome
ruinous exasperation again
the Letter was longer than I assumed
I had to hold the microphone alone.
When I get to the part about the Dream
I awakened to the Words of the Dream.
