And what’s your favorite class in school?
I like math. And science.
Her sweet smile framed
by gorgeous wavy cascades.
In my head I encourage her
to pursue math and science.
Maybe become a doctor.
I slam my mouth shut.
Bite my tongue.
How dare I?
Born in a
Guatemalan village.
Emigree.
How will her family
pay for college?
No DACA. No support.
I smile at her hard
with my eyes,
my mouth hidden
behind a mask.
I say nothing.
