in her manhattan high
school ten years later
art assignment to sketch
what she thinks of what
she sees holding a conch
shell to her ear she draws
a double rowed dilapidated
shack village scene smoke
storming from windows
random debris puddles
a multi-colored sky
christmas tree sparsely
decorated swollen bellied
people wandering around
a larger indigent girl
figure isolated beside
the caption reads: oh my
god I just looking for my house
please help me in my town
