My Name Is. . .
I sit
a noise
laughter fills the air
a normal day
I talk to friends
then
very, very slowly
one by one
fewer people look at me
they don't like to talk
mother gasp
avert their stare as I walk past
Have I done wrong?
quiet noises are louder than they seem
"Jew"
People now talk in whispers
"Jew"
cinemas, skating rinks
I always thought fun
not now
"Jew"
we are apart now my friends and me
even P.E classes are split
"no Jews here"
I ask why
"no reason, Jew"
"my name is. ."
"Jew"
I ask my parents
"it will all be over soon", they say
but weeks pass
things are stranger, voices louder
now there are flags and guns and a man,
a terrible noise
"Juden!"
mother was right
they were right
It was soon all over
and
now
I take a shower
