Mother lays down a
massive cardboard sheet
and uncaps a marker with a pop!

"We need to plan carefully,"
she says as she writes down
every last detail.

Mother asks questions;

what my favorite subjects are,
how I prefer to learn things,

how often I need breaks,

if I'd liked to go outside.


I sit next to her

and she hands me a marker of my own,

"Write it all down, sweetheart."


I look up at her as I write,
"Are you sure we can handle this, Ann'e?"


Ann'e looks at me with a calm clarity in her eyes,

"Yes. 
We can handle this."
