Shazam, center field

I always put my puka-shell necklace on top the red silk scarf every different place I live. Little tiny white shells just the way they was when my dead father give me the necklace he was still alive he didnt know he would be dead in the bottom of the sea. He give me the scarf and puka-shell necklace in Hawaii my birthday I turned 3 I never seen him no more. In these shells there was animals but there isnt no more. They are famous Hawaii shells. There is palm trees in a picture on the silk.

I dont have my gas mask they took it away.

The necklace is full grown jewelry not for a little kid I save it every time. I always keep it wrapped in the Hawaii scarf when I am leaving to go live another place. When I get to the new place I unwrap it I put it on a special spot I have it on the apple box at Grammamas house here at Barlow.

I do not never wear it they might get hurt.

I come on the Greyhound to live with Grammama so my mom can get on her feet.

I bring that necklace and that scarf every place I live.

My mom she hit me I forgot the gas mask I said I forgot she said dont dare forget them Japs bomb us again you die without no gas mask I wont have nobody. It hurt when she hitted. I always tried to remember the gas mask hang the bag on my shoulder all the time over to the sugarcane fields the beach too where puka shells growed on the beach.

Over to Idaho them little children messed with my puka shells. I popped them in the face my mom went to hit me I outran her.

Nobody never give me no say so. Everybody putted me in places made me stay there. I never got to say where I live.

Over here to Grammamas it is OK. There is the fire dream but that is everywhere. The fire dream too loud I cant hear with the noise.

Too many bombs on my only fathers ship I cant remember how to do 7 X 7 Audrey she said sure you can Shazam Wink said it too. The fire dream in the night the 7 times in the day it pushed too loud on me I couldnt.

Mrs Winters said we are all learning these timeses everybody in this room. I did try then those bad bombers come in my head my mom crying.

Hallie was my friend she made me go to her place play ball with her and her dad. No fire no bombs when I play ball. Her mom made cookies she give me a sack full for my grammama I give her when I got home.

In Hallies house there was water running in the sink in a faucet I could not see no pump. They have their toilet in the house.

Hallies father hit us fungoes back of their woodshed I fielded better than Hallie on 3 of them.
