Ars Poetica

I am Zachary Harris
I am white
I am a slave to my education
I am whipped by grades
I am lynched by teachers

I am Zachary Harris
I am a slow runner
I am duck footed
I am pigeon footed
I am weighed by scales

I am Zachary Harris
I am huge kings fan
I am royalty
I am your majesty
I AM ZOD! KNEEL BEFORE ME!

I am Zachary Harris
I am not a musician
I am Ray Charles
I am tone deaf
I am Helen Keller
I am Kurt Cobain

I am Zachary Harris
I am failing English
…go figure.

I am Zachary Harris
I am a poet!
I am superior
I am your teacher
I am grading your poem
I am giving you an F
I am giving myself a B.
