“t”

By Thomas Page

I am student teaching a senior level class in Washington, DC. They have to write some poems on these prompts. I decided to try all 30 of them. However, I will not say what the prompt was but what its number was.

Prompt #9

I may be a little biased when I talk about t

Because of what it means for me

To take my place whenever I sign some loopy mess masquerading as my signature

On some official decree of myself to the job or the bank

Taking care of my money or my time in whatever way they want

Because I am t and t is me

It is my alpha and I t’s omega

With the homas I provide

When I feel like it but t can stand alone.
