BINGO
The boys hissed fat ass, fat ass at me all summer long.
Once, I drew the winning BINGO card, but I stayed in my seat staring
at my dirty ripped white Keds while they called out my numbers.
O64. N23. B7.
Fat ass. Fat ass. Fat ass.
The prize was in a gift-wrapped box.
I wanted it badly, but my short shorts made my ass look even fatter.
I could not walk across that room.
Eventually, they gave up searching for the prize winner.
The counselor probably kept it for herself.
It took some time to learn that my big lovely ass was a gift,
greater than the other girls’ skinny legs and straight hair.
