Sad-eyed Ghanaian girl
how you know so much
so soon?
Dealing with the world
with gentle persistence.
Teaching me while you
act like you learnin.
Looking at me out of
ancient African eyes
deep enough
to drown in
Lookin at me like
I'm ten feet tall
and me stretchin to be it
an almost makin it
an everybody surprised
but you
