BROKEN
What was my first broken?
Was it when a head came off one of my toy soldiers
or when my shoelace broke as my dad tied my shoes?
Was it when my juice cup fell off the table and
hit the kitchen floor with an “Uh oh! Oh no!”
Was it when Jimmy Hennessy’s died in the fourth
grade – and I didn't know what was happening.
I saw people crying – and silence was the only
feeling in the clumps of people who filled the room.
