PAPERS
For Christmas
I gave the person who
puts the Times
outside my morning door
$20.
I waited inside
until I heard the paper land.
I hurried into the hallway then
to find
a short Latinx woman in
jeans with her red
beanie pulled down.
We’d never seen each other.
She was likely
undocumented and shy and
uncertain when I
came toward her with an envelope.
