You nailed it
Born and bred in Tibet,
you clipped your fingernails
into the batter of Western mindlessness
and made organic hole wheat.
The first time I met you,
you stole my mind
actually, not mind
you stole my self
for a few moments.
Your fingernails of unimpededness
were eaten by the hungry students:
Mukpo keratin.
You rose to every occasion.
It was the yeast you could do.
