How to Learn a Language

Las Grutas, Argentina
If it didn’t sink in baby teeth
to learn a language you must again don a bonnet.

Fear not to drool your imperfect syntax
or rug burn from the crawl through blank stares.

Soil your diaper with a misplaced clause!

Find someone to look into your eyes
and tell you everything, knowing you understand only sleep and suckle-

nothing else makes sense, until one day
it does.
