[Critique Group 2] My Poem for November 29th Meeting (Pasted and Attached)

[Abbie Taylor]

A VISIT TO AN ELDERLY MATH TEACHER

In the seventh grade,

a teen-ager with dreams

of making it big in the music scene,

I couldn’t have cared less about mathematics,

struggled with equations, fractions.

He was patient.

I was never famous.

Almost fifty years later,

after performing at a retirement home,

I approached the old man,

shook his frail hand,

gazed into his tired eyes.

“Do you remember me?” I asked.

“I was one of your worst students.”

“No, I don’t believe that,”

he answered in a halting tone.

Did he not recall,

or was he being kind?
