Summary: My attempt




For a big man,
my brother had
exceptionally small toes.

As a woman,
I have often
tried to denigrate all those

who appear
to me quite
different, I suppose.

Though a child,
my daughter
had the air of one who knows

that everyone
has oddities
for others to expose.

For a small world -
and it’s changing
as I’m speaking, as it grows,

There will always
be the ones who
have the high times and the lows.

For a big man,
my uncle had
a very tiny nose………..

SO WHAT?
