Caren Krutsinger Poet Narrative

Is Parker a Girl Or a Boy

None of the names are familiar now
I have been in this class before
But my memory is weak

There are no Susie’s or Jack’s
The names are Donovan, Maleficent, Alfred, Drago,
Chole, Elise, Drake, and Athena.
I usually can associate names with others I know with that name.

I know no others with these names.
I call these students “honey” and “sweetie pie”.
Glad they are in preschool, and they do not mind.

I stopped one little girl and asked, “Is Parker a girl or a boy?”
“I am a girl, Silly.”
