Collage Artist

I was teaching the other day
There is only one agenda
So I just told them I know this collage artist

She always has this box with her
Gathers things of her daily life
Every six months or so she empties the box

She cut up and put things together her
For money she does other thing
Her art 

I knew this collage artist
Left far behind I may not have understood one thing
I did not expect her there

I was teaching the other day
There is only one agenda
I am the gate keeper alone who knows the whole story

She put me in her box
I was a thing of her daily life
She cut me up and put me apart

I talk now and no one was distressed
It is fun to tell the fun parts of our stories
Things I long had no use

For them to put it together or not
We would try again
Others rotate to me and the stories improve

It was a first time I called her this way
This collage artist I know
Like meeting a new person in a student's eye
