Everyone Is Special

poetry

Oh Mom
I’ve been watching the steeplechase
and I keep wondering
why the runner in the back
is getting such high marks
I mean this is a race,
that is, a steeplechase
and he’s running and all
and he just keeps getting such high
marks
and I’m just wondering, Mom,
how someone in the back can
come in second?
Why can’t they just let him race,
Mom?
Why can’t they just let him
lose?
