Because I'll forget to do it if I don't do it now:

I wanna send a shout out
to Mrs. Potschka
who taught me in grades 4 and 6
and who ate a whole tomato, with salt, every day
and who taught me the single greatest thing
I have ever, ever learned
about writing.
And she taught me it in grade 4.

And I'll tell you about it
another time.

And when I do
remind me to tell you
about the Paul Bunyon poem.
Really. Remind me.
