Answer 2

This is the poem.

When I was a little girl,

I thought everyone was Italian,

and that was good. We visted

our aunts and uncles,

and they visted us.

The Italian language smooth

and sweet in my mouth.

In kindergarten, English words fell on me,

thick and sharp as hail. I grew silent,

the Italian word balanced on the edge

of my tongue and the English word, lost

during the first moment

of every question.
