FAMILY
Where we first learn
we have no control.
We’re brought home -
given a space and place,
food, words, hopefully
love and affection,
and we scream when
we don’t get our way.
Where we last learn
we had no control.
We leave home,
do school and work,
start our own family,
and hopefully before
we die we figure out
what it was all about.
