With all the love and anger of my Seya still flowing in it.

All play for three caramel skin,

multi-ethnic girls giggling.

Several white boys up front, unsmiling.

Diecisiete - Kaya McCluskey

Miss escribió la primera tarea:
Un autorretrato que muestra "quién eres tú." Los hombros bajaran, no conocía a ella. Aire con olor a cera, papel seco,
Un escalofrío asqueado y una tristeza. Diecisiete años en la sala de arte.
