10 are delivered to them,
bound by chains of nerves and genes
stronger than iron or steel, although

for as long as I can remember
15 and will be painting still
when you read this, some cold

is old and the trees no longer silver
but black fingers scratching a grey sky.

20 And you never know why (I was lying

25 but maybe tomorrow
when the sky is a surreal sea
in which you drown . . .

A) wants to be honest about how little he understands the creative impulse
B) does not want to mislead his daughter into believing that she has special talent

D) wants to admit his confusion about the sometimes-stifling life choices that creative people make
