Ode to Connie

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
She uses her tongue to educate and live.
Or perhaps, live to educate.
A dragon-boat rower,
her arms amplifying strength and might,
she fights her way
through Ignorance's waves of Injustices.
She uses her tongue to taste
the wine of her roots.
From the bottom up,
Bloom[helping others] [Connie] Bloom[helping others].
