two books
halfway through clifford's first snow day
the boy i work with fell asleep, his head in my lap.
as he napped i read a graphic novel, deogratias.
the main character is a young boy who loses his mind
during the tutsi genocide in rwanda.
as i sat in the hall i wondered
what the passing teachers thought
of a this already odd white girl,
reading a comic book, wiping her eyes,
and desperately clutching the hand of a sleeping boy.
