Day 15 of Na/GloPoWriMo 2023.

Prompt 15 source: https://www.napowrimo.net/day-fifteen-9/
Here’s our (optional) prompt for the day. Begin by reading June Jordan’s “Notes on the Peanut.” Now, think of a person – real or imagined – who has been held out to you as an example of how to be of live, but who you have always had doubts about. Write a poem that exaggerates the supposedly admirable qualities of the person in a way that exposes your doubts.
