Do You Think I’m Dumb Mother (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
About this poem
My dearest Alice…I don’t believe we will ever be…Due to the fact that you are of thee three…This one was inspired by Isaiah 54…And please do not flatter yourself in believing it is about you Alice…I wonder IF any of the wise among you can chew the meat of this chapter…Oh…I forgot…You still haven’t even learned how to suckle yet…Nobody’s perfect…Even I make mistakes on occasions…But I believe My Father has taught me that we must correct our mistakes that we make…
