Literature Text

In our backyard, my boy cousins kill
each other from behind palmetto
bushes with Daisy BB guns.

In our frontyard, my girl cousins slap
their baby-dolls across the face
and shout at them to shut-up!

Inside my house, I'm standing on my tip-toes
palming the top of Daddy's closet,
my tiny fingers courting the Smith & Wesson.
