is what we called her The story was	A
that her father had thrown Drano at her	B
which was probably true given the way she slouched	C
through fifth grade afraid of the world recess	D
especially She had acne scars	E
before she had acne poxs and dips	F
and bright red patches	G
I don't remember	B
any report in the papers I don't remember	B
my father telling me her father had gone to jail	H
I never looked close to see the particulars	I
of Crater Face's scars She was a blur a cartoon	J
melting Then when she healed her face	K
a million pebbles set in cement	C
Even Comet Boy	L
who got his name by being so abrasive	M
who made fun of everyone didn't make fun	N
of her She walked over the bridge	O
with the one other white girl who lived	C
in her neighborhood Smoke curled	C
like Slinkies from the factory stacks	P
above them	Q
I liked to imagine that Crater Face	K
went straight home like I did to watch Shirley Temple	R
on channel I liked to imagine that she slipped	C
into the screen bumping Shirley with her hip	S
so that child actress slid out of frame into the tubes	T
and wires that made the TV sputter when I turned it on	U
Sometimes when I watched I'd see Crater Face	K
tap dancing with tall black men whose eyes	V
looked shiny like the whites of hard boiled eggs	W
I'd try to imagine that her block was full	X
of friendly folk with a lighthouse or goats	Y
running in the street	C
It was my way of praying	Z
my way of un imagining the Drano pellets	A2
that must have smacked against her	B
like a round of mini bullets	A2
her whole face as vulnerable as a tongue	B2
wrapped in sizzling pizza cheese	C2
How she'd come home with homework	D2
the weight of her books bending her into a wilting plant	C
How her father called her slut bitch big baby slob	E2
The hospital where she was forced to say it was an accident	C
Her face palpable as something glowing in a Petri dish	F2
The bandages over her eyes	V
In black and white	C
with all that make up Crater Face almost looked pretty	C
sure her MGM father was coming back soon from the war	G2
seeing whole zoos in her thin orphanage soup	H2
She looked happiest when she was filmed	C
from the back sprinting into the future	B
fading into tiny gray dots on UHF	M
