- W2019774014 abstract "Living in the Material World 1973 Most important was my Flinstones' lunchbox pink metal canvas for Pebbles also in pink, like my first-day dress trimmed in eyelet tatting on the hem and sleeves. Girls still couldn't wear pants, but the teachers could paddle us, and on the playground I learned about the cool girls who had their Dick and Jane readers covered in flower-power contact paper, mine wrapped in recycled grocery bags harder to read out loud sitting in the language arts circle, Montclair Elementary, First Grade. Georgia Clay It was quite a common sight to see a group of womengathered on the porch sharing a plate of dirt. – Dr. Dennis Frate In my grandparents' pine-thicket there was an open space, depressed, where water would pool in spring, dry-up in summer, cracked ground [End Page 77] as if hundreds of broken red plates had been tossed in a pile. Linda and I would play tea party, arrange a table on the grass, azalea blooms at each fractured setting. Some days we would dig deeper find real treasure – white clay, kaolin soft as cheese for imaginary crackers. Once, my granny watched me pretend to nibble, Stop it! That's what poor women do. I dug small holes, buried the white chalk, then sucked my marked fingers, discovered the sweet bitterness of earth. Annie's Song 1974 The cool kid in second grade wasn't me, but I got to sit neatly in a row with others out of reach of Annie, who hit so many times, she'd been exiled to a desk outside arm's reach of any other student, right beside our teacher. [End Page 78] On Valentine's day, we hung pouches, heart shaped, along the bottom of the blackboard, ate candy hearts until our bellies ached, but the real ache was watching Annie check her pouch over and again only finding one from Mrs. Miller. In second grade, we'd learned to sin, already shunning girls like Annie. My mother had made me sign cards for every student in class, but one never made it past the schoolyard. Grandmother's Spit after Andrew Hudgins She catches you by the collar or belt loop pulls you back, spins you around, grabs shoulders plants you firmly in front of her. It is the price you pay for licking the bowl, taking the short cut through the pasture, or playing baseball with cherry tomatoes. For the boys, it always seems so quick: the spit, the rub, the bolt for the back of the trailer, the wiping away begun before they turn the corner. As a girl, I know different. First, there will be the sweeping back of hair, the clothing readjusted and the reprimands [End Page 79] about how young ladies should act. Finally, the matrilineal baptism, snuff & butter scented, the thickness clinging to my face, Granny eyeing me, until I collapse beside her, folding my hands in my lap. The Hustle 1975 Just watch American Bandstand, my brother said as he packed his duffel bag. I wasn't sure how I could learn to dance watching a television show but for once I was trying not to be a pesky little sister. On the way to the Greyhound Station he didn't try to commandeer the entire backseat, didn't pinch me, or offer me a dollar to lie in the floor-well so he could stretch out, be comfortable. He tapped his foot to a silent beat while we waited to say goodbye. Over Burger King Whoppers and shakes, we talked about how funny he'd look in uniform. At home, when I didn't feel well, Daddy told me not to bother my mother. I found her crying in the bathroom, bent double on the toilet seat. [End Page 80] You're just sad because your..." @default.
