Flunking a driver’s test, frightening a bully, grown up at fourteen
After school, after a divorce, after an earthquake
Under the Milky Way, after the fireworks, out of the closet
A ghost in the house, the police at the door, a phone call in a dream
Bowing to men, kissing in public, crossing the border
An orphan’s hunger, a teacher’s praise, a mother’s farewell
A mysterious presence, a troupe of anarchists, a nocturnal visitor
A family vacation, a secret romance, a refugee’s plight
A mother’s memories, a child’s fears, a dead man’s secrets
A teacher’s legacy, a professor’s dilemma, a stranger’s confessions
A secret letter, a political message, a kindergarten rebel
Hasty judgments, classroom taunts, racial epithets
