Eldest daughter of Bart and Lizzie Morrison. One of thirteen children.
School Days
When Emily Morrison thought
of Plato, it was of the plucked
chicken some greek or other
had thrown over his wall.
Then her mind would squawk
at the chicken house shit
that still needed cleaning
and the damned red hen1
who always hid her eggs
in the third rafter from the
left and how Ellen Anne
broke her arm last summer
gathering those eggs.
