The walk to school makes the oil pool on my forehead
a lake spilling under my armpits. The news said the oil’s
drying up. America is starting wars to get it back. My people
are on the list. We can’t survive without oil.
But, who’s got money for both gas & lunch?
There’s a rough spot above my ear where my head
wages war on itself. Thin skin, my doctor
says. But I stopped letting my Auntie A oil my hair.
My Auntie has a baby in her & I know
our pretend game is up. She’s not my mother.
No one is. I have no blood. Just my body & all its oil.
