Crackers and Milk
Seventh grade
I would leave English
halfway through class—
lippy students at scarred desks
what’s her excuse?
where to
every day? I knew
they whispered pet
and freak behind my back—
ladies in aprons
readied
my snack, pitied
my sips, their worry—
an ulcer? and fret—could it be
her fault?
