Game 38

CHI 115      OT       PHI 111

My friend came by
To help me build a baby bed,
And he stayed to watch the game.

We used to work together,
Before I left that struggling school
To go somewhere
Easier.

We are both
Teaching Hamlet
To our Seniors this semester.

Hamlet is hard.

I kind of hate Hamlet,
And I’m not exactly sure
Why I’m teaching it--

I probably won’t next year.

But my friend Alex--
He knows exactly why
He’s teaching it.

Why he’ll continue to teach it:

We live in America.

And in America,
If you’re poor
Or your skin isn’t white

You need to be
Way
Better
At the game.

Otherwise,
You will never get to play.
