Pedagogy ~ by Shari-Lyn McArthur

Pedagogy

My disciples listen 
when they should be speaking;
worry when they should be doing.

They buy my water from beside the river
when I ask: 
Why is the river muddy?

They dine on my marrow 
as I go hungry;
dwell in my house 
instead of building;
anoint my feet 
with snake oil and then

when my disciples should surpass me–
I am a prophet.
