Literature Text

I fell in love with words
long before I kissed a boy
or girl -
I watched the world
through virtual glasses,
zooming in on syllables
wherever I went,
lapping up knowledge
with the fresh thirst
only children have.

The first time I wrote my name
I wasn't satisfied with it,
and had to writewritewrite
to make that first bout
of crooked scribbles
alright -

a whole world
had opened itself to me
with pencil on paper.

It's true;
the first poem
I ever wrote
was my name.
