Daughter
Today when the preschool teacher said that
You loved art so much and you could do it all day
I just wanted to cry
Not out of joy or pride
No no
Out of pity
Poor you daughter of mine
As I think you are gonna be too much like me
Would love to spend my days pasting puttering painting
And do from time to time
But have yet to discover a way to make the pleasant work of art become work of pleasant income
Dear daughter
Study chemistry and dentistry
Engineering and math
Pls refrain from any dreamy attempts at life
Save yourself the agony
