                                              i casually flip through the
"emo band book."
                          "coraline. why do you
carry that book around
with you?" mom asks,
reaching out to hold 
out.
                          i close the book and pull
it close to me.

                          "we don't speak of
the book," i hiss.
                          my mom pulls her hand 
back.
                          "you're too clingy of that
book."
                          "i. don't. fucking. care."
                          "coraline NICOLE. 
WEDON'TCUSSINTHISHOUSE."
                          "IDON'TFUCKINGCARE."
                          "CORALINE."
                          "let me see that book."
                          i press it close to my 
chest and shake my head.
