Ideologies
With hesitation, mother taught me
a prayer at a young age,

...lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil...


wary of indoctrinating her child
in religion, but teaching

because it was expected.
At four, I memorized and recited

it each night before bed. Repeatedly,
she also told me I could do and be

anything I wanted. Even president.
When I said that out loud, people laughed

politely, smiling at the imagination
of a young girl.
