The first job, I had to wear white gloves.

The monkey garden, where we used to play hide and go seek.

Hips, you need them to dance.

She is this way because of her age.

 


I didn’t feel nervous anymore, he asked
for a birthday kiss.

He grabs my face, and kisses me hard
on the mouth.

Sally said, it was just a kiss, that’s all.

I wanted to go back with the other kids, I wanted to throw a stick.

I had to run away.

They bloom like roses, the waitress
with the big fat hips.

They’re good for holding a baby, if you don’t get them you may turn into a man.

 


My face felt hot. Everything inside hiccuped.
