My Parents Were Home-Schooling Anarchists
Mom and Dad embraced “all things counter, original, spare, strange.”
Wandering in Mexico with us, 4 young children
Visiting mummies in Guanjuato
And ruins of a castle in England
Tramping across continents
Afternoons spent doing Yoga and drinking tea
When finally forced to attend prison-like school
In Saint Louis,
Having no jeans, no feathered hair,
Unable to recite Star Wars lines or multiplications tables
We learned to sit in rows,
To defend ourselves,
To disappear
