there is this little girls with black curly hair <br />flat nose, thin eyelashes, wavy goatish eyelids, <br />sitting on a bamboo pole <br />(the common furniture there) <br />with bare hands and bare feet <br />staring at me, <br />for i am new here and i have a big tummy <br />and i am white skinned, and i have candied <br />inside my pockets, she knows that soon <br />i will throw all these candies in the air <br />for all the other children <br /> <br />but there is something strange about this <br />little brown girl with curly hair sitting all alone <br />on that bamboo chair <br /> <br />her father and mother were killed in the last rebellion.<br /><br />RIC S.
