Un-taught

I wish I was smart,

knew the things that you wanted me too

Understood, recognized,

could recite words,

famous quotes, theories, ideas

 

If I had only read those poets,

studied those books -  but I didn’t

 

So, I am not - smart

I am stupid,

because I only know one thing,

that I love you

and that is dumb -

at least that is what you told me

 

I now know that -

 

See, I am learning
