i did not make it here alone
i cannot stay without assistance
i am part of family ,friends-networks
that sustain via positive inputs
if i were to pretend uniqueness
my sisters would laugh because they know
my mother wants rhyming poetry
and i cannot supply her-so
i ask them for assistance
they supply the stated need
she is brave in asking
i both cede and concede
without others-there is no point nor purpose
in communicating who we are and why
this very artform demands shared audience
and you know why...
