   This is a composite of what I was dealing
   with as a tutor, pre-COVID, by the way.
   The kid who wrote this is now a high
   school honors student... And if you be-
   lieve that, I sell leak-proof cabins in the
   African Rain Forest you might be inter-
   ested in. ...


Premium MemberI Like Ladybugs

Eight years old on that January Wednesday
Little hesitant steps into the schoolyard
Everyone has stranger's eyes
Mazes of hallways, lunchroom arena, playground cliques
Expedited heartbeat, ceiling too high to the
New kid, the foreigner, the interloper
Throat too tight, mouth too dry
Anxiety blocks my words, even my name, then
Ringing bells, summoning students in a river, and do
You need help, the kind lady is asking

Soothing hand on my shoulder, guides me to
Class, chattering kids, tables and pencils, one girl says
Hi, do you like bugs - I laugh and
One friend is made - she makes room for the
Outsider, and I say yes, I like
Ladybugs - and suddenly I belong.

Premium MemberGangster's Moll

GANGSTER’S MOLL 

The gangster’s moll now exists
Beyond the proffered film season
Impeaching authorised fiction
With cries, and real tears. For

She and the boss presumably didn’t care
To penetrate the mysterious body
Of God in the Universe, preferring
Hot shots, to the ultimate betrayal.

Of people they grew up with, she doesn’t tease
The short-circuit of big questions, just shrugs
And accepts his disappearance, like cash
Running in and out of a wallet.

Doesn’t take it to heart or too hard,
But she’s praying to get  the kids’ hands off the gun.
