Papi Calls Me

but I cannot answer the phone. I want to,

but I can’t. He calls again. He texts me.

He wants to know why I’m ignoring him.

He says,

I am watching CNN and today is

about NYU medical students.

All medical students have tuition for

free. Would you consider being a doctor?

Lol I hope.

Things aren’t going so well

with the You. ¡Que pena!

Mostly because

he can’t see her anymore and when

he does all they do is fight.

He is concerned with what happened

that night with the candles.

But the You has never had

to investigate himself,

has never had the instinct

to turn a mirror into a person.

They are whisper-fighting down

a street when Melissa receives an e-mail.
