Great Poem about Life: Modlin's Absent from Fourth Grade

in #poetry • 7 years ago

On Being, the spirituality podcast site, discussed an amazing poem by Brad Aaron Modlin entitled "What You Missed That Day You Were Absent from Fourth Grade."

Here is an opening excerpt:

Mrs. Nelson explained how to stand still and listen
to the wind, how to find meaning in pumping gas,

how peeling potatoes can be a form of prayer. She took
questions on how not to feel lost in the dark.
