"In Hamilton, Burr spends years waiting for a chair to be offered at the table in 'the room where it happens.' Patience and timing will play a part in your ultimate success for sure. But I found the happiness and consistency I wanted for so long at the exact moment I decided to build my own table and my own chairs." ~ Leslie Odom Jr.


Paper skin, much too thin
Veins lined blue, college-ruled
But please don't make me think about
college, will you?
Not yet, but when?
I'm marked in pen
Errors in red
Circled my mistakes in format and
language and where the ink bled
From my being to the page
A stain too unsighlty for you
Not enough to make it through
Or make the grade
Not that it's hard to do
But not good enough, you see?
No, not me.
