I remember the day this picture
was taken of me in the third grade
at Mary Queen of Peace School
in Webster Groves, Missouri.
I remember a boy who was a grade
ahead of me brushing my hair to
the side away from my eyes to make
a more presentable picture of me.
I learned to be considerate of
others from that day forward some
68-years ago.
I can’t remember who it was that
taught me about love and hate.
Those human traits may have come
to me naturally.
There was so much to learn and
remember over my lifetime.
I do know today, I have always
been good at recalling faces and
places, but I’ll be damned if I can
remember all the names.
And too, it occasionally comes
to me that likely I made up a lot
of shit just to get through.
