AI Interpretation
Sue is praised as one of the rare people whose art and way of seeing began at birth, making her quick certainty feel earned.
The poem treats Sue's sensibility as native rather than acquired, something present from the start in both craft and perception. Mom's resistance to change becomes a foil, suggesting that ordinary caution cannot recognize what Sue knows. The final claim that Sue is right is simple on purpose, as though speed of understanding can itself be a moral fact.
Continues Sue: one of those selected who work to know something well. Her art and viewing started at birth; mom's resistance to change is because she thinks change is wrong. For the few like her, going from one place to the other fastest, 'Sue is right.'
