AJKNVDQ

I was pulled out of third grade, in May,
for crying so much all year.
What took my mother so long
to react?

Mrs Bowers admitted
that she hated my vulnerability.
She attacked me
in class each day.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT? She'd shout.
I'd shout back NO, I don't even know the alphabet -
AJKNVDQ!
