I read down the list.
My heart being like a uncontrollable
drum. I stare down the paper like a hawk.
The top reads "Basketball Team Roster."
I see an Isiah, a Kelvin, a Peterson, but
not a Gabriel.
My face turns pale and my mind
goes blank. Not knowing what to do or
say, I just walk away into the frigid night.
I don't make a grin or say a word.
I just walk all the way home, feeling
sorry for myslef, and I remember how my
name wasn't even mentioned.
