Poem To Summarize:

Everyone knows my sister is brilliant.
The letters come folded neatly inside official-looking envelopes that my sister proudly -handed to my mother
" Odella has achieved.."
"Odella has excelled at..."
"Odella has been recommended to.."
"Odella's outstanding performance.."

She is gifted.
We are told
And I imagine presents surrounding her

I am not gifted. When I read the words twist and twirl across the page.
When they settle, it is too late
The class already has moved on

I want to catch words on day. I want to hold then then blow gently
Watch them float
right out of my hands.
