To Those About Me

My conduits, loin and womb
Poles of my basic knowledge
Images I have had – and had to carry

Playmates, first instinct of variants
Names, faces, and statures
And the homes we head to after school

Hear ye of my teachers
Who’ve shown me to carve my niche
From earth’s rules and exceptions

In tracking the sun and you
Yes – here is where and what I am
This is to those about me indeed
