Micah
I am not me
I am a teacher with one student
who I treat carefully
for I have been told
he is fragile and given to outbursts
might even lash out
so I let him teach me
how to teach him.
He is young, perhaps 13
I sit by him while he teaches me
a subject I have never studied before
I dare not make a sound
not because of what he might do
but because I need to understand him.
A voice tells me his name is Micah.
