Takeaway
The phone is dark and cold,
and when Baba presses it,
it doesnât turn on.
Kareem,
you better not
have broken my phone.
Babaâs voice is low,
but
that
just
means
heâs
REALLY
angry.
Iâm not getting
my phone back
for a
million years.
Hyperbole:
an exaggeration.
Which is NOT what Iâm doing,
âcause I really donât think my dadâs
ever going to give it back.
Red Flag
I sit at the table,
quiet,
holding my breath,
waiting to see what happens.
Jameelah took
Sameer upstairs
to sleep,
his dino fixed
and clasped
within his fingers.
Babaâs standing by the fridge,
arms crossed,
his phone
plugged into the charger
above
the kitchen countertops.
Tension thickens
through the room.
My dad is a
coach on a field
spiking a red flag,
challenging
a call.
A metaphor:
using figurative language
to compare two things.
In other words,
my night is
a big black hole.
