PAD - Day 21 - What I am / What I am not - Poem 1. I am not the Queen of England

I am not the Queen Of England

Although as a child

I waved from the

back of our Brooklyn

car as I had seen a

very young queen do –

I did not expect to be

a queen – nor did I rule

this out for me – at four

or five in that America

all was pure possibility
