\nfirst research paper.\u00a0 I used
\nan encyclopedia.\u00a0 \u201cSpain.\u201d
\nHe blamed me for the 500%
\nincrease in juvenile crime\u2014<\/p>\n
\nAmerican history than Roman.
\nHe yelled because we couldn\u2019t name
\nthe Emperor when Jesus was born.
\nWhen he got in trouble,<\/p>\n
\nput his arm around me,
\nand asked me to ask my parents
\nto defend him at the meeting.
\nThe gym seemed huge.\u00a0 We often<\/p>\n
\nat each other.\u00a0 Junior high
\nin September–my teacher,
\nwhile out of my life, festered.
\nA year like an open sore.<\/p>\n
