Sunday School, circa 1950
"Who made you?" was always
The question,
The answer was always
"God."
Well, there we stood
Three feet high
Heads bowed
Leaning into
Bosoms.
Now
I no longer recall
The Catechism
Or brood on the Genesis
Of life
No.
I ponder the exchange
Itself
And salvage mostly
The leaning.
Alice Walker
