a flammable target for darts of fire.
when i am old, i will not spray flames
on the young. i promise to listen.
a little girl called me a boy to hurt my feelings.
i'm not a boy. i'm not a girl. i'm not on fire
until the air steals my saliva
and, drying, i shrink
my freckles amassing
my floating ribs scraping and crashed.
