Knowing

Lorena

Suddenly I understand all the girls

who’ve been zooterinas

for so long,

dressed like rebels

to show that women

are strong.

Now, with Ray motionless and bleeding

right in front of me, and the sailors still acting

insane as they grab kids and hurl them

off streetcars

onto the pavement,

beating, stripping, humiliating boys

in front of us—sisters, girlfriends,

even mothers. . . .

Now, with all this madness raging around me,

I’m not calm or sensible.

I crave revenge,

knowing how desperate it feels to need

justice.
