sitting next to me in homeroom
in the ninth grade
killed off his entire
family
that year.
writing notes explaining
his absence
the day before.
he had so many funerals
to go to.
he wrote
that his grandmother
died suddenly.
his sister
fell off her bike
and cracked her head open.
his aunt caught
pneumonia
and died.
his mother, his father.
all kaput.
no one cared
that they all showed
up when
he graduated seven
years later.
