one year
a naked white guy
parked his car
by our elementary school
kids called him
The Nude Dude and laughed
when they told the story
i didn’t believe it
because i was
on the honor roll
until the afternoon
he hopped at me
all pink and sweaty
and asked me
                    little girl
have you ever seen
a white mans pride
and i replied oh
yes sir many times
many times
