Undocumented



Today they found a guy out back who’d been stabbed, no more information. Alarm bells went off, “lock-in!” The first person who came on the scene of the crime, a brown man from south of the border, was arrested and ruffed up. He won’t be pressing charges or suing the police for profiling. He is undocumented. We were in “lock-in” ‘till the alarm was cancelled. The kids wanted to know why and who? We are all silent.
