THEY CALLED ME SHAKESPEARE

Since the fourth grade
in the Garrison School
they called me
Shakespeare,
I would sit under
my Aunt Kate's
apple tree
and write plays,
my characters
were Phillip Sonata
and Phyllis Concerto,
the other kids
told me "Come play
in the playground
on Brookledge St.
of the Garrison school"
in Boston
next door to Aunt Kate
but I wrote my plays
with all knowledge
of my skill
until I founded
the Original theater
to sum up my age
as it be your Will.
