Victoria Anderson-Throop Poet Free verse

Deutsch Sprache

DEUTSCH  SPRACHE

I spent years
Learning German
      eating ginger snaps
Sitting straight
Thinking orderly
      ….sometimes

Snapping out crisp verbs and nouns
       ...sometimes

But--
All I remember
Is frightfully crazy

Sexualgymnastik

Is not a word often used
In polite conversation.
