Daughter

The stranger emerges from water

as the wife becomes a mother

Then the stranger meets her father

Whose son is now her brother

Idealist

An idealist

Is something much different 

from an ideal list 

Or a list of ideals,

a listless dealer,

Or a dealer of lists.

An idealist 

doesn't deal so much with things the eyes can see 

as much as ideas that could be

Sometimes an idealist 

Might even write stuff

Such as this.
