Pedagogy

(learning for children)

 

My sister has an allergy

She didn’t have when we were growing up

I have one, too

An allergy

I did not have before

If we return to anything like childhood

I’d rather it were in another way

But nowadays

Now that we’re older, anyway

And just because

She will have to eschew strawberries

As I have to avoid bell peppers

 

Then invent it on our own

An aspect of joy and unquantified

Curiosity

That without even a nod

Such as children have
