"At Home, In Bolton"When I was at home during the pandemic, I just walk around my neighborhood, Play with my dog, Sit inside. I see woods, I see green, I see poor dogs. I smell that pollen, I smell the sap on a trees, the dried up sap, the wet sap that's coming down the tree. I just see family around Bolton. My daddy knows about everybody In Bolton, So I can't really do nothing Bad. Bolton is just a home where you could just relax, But you can't get too comfortable. You just got to be safe. During the pandemic, I spent more time inside Than outside. It used to be a trailer, But they turned into a house. My grandma, me, my cousin,My siblings, my mom, my dad. And then you got my aunt that lives there too. Sometimes I just hear peaceful, The birds are tweeting. The most peaceful is at 4:00, 5:00 or 6:00. The school busses come around 7:00 And sometimes come at 6:00. It feels home, It feels like I'm safe.

"It's Time To Game"During the pandemic, I spent a lot of time gaming. Mystery games, challenge games, story games.Games that you could just doWhatever you like. Some people think it's wrong, While some say it's life. No time to fight, Because that don't feel right. Make a career out of gaming. May be ridiculous to some. I go to another dimension. It takes away a lot of tension, Like if you come home From a stressful day at school,Wou could just go on your tablet Or you whatever you have And play on it. Some people say I spend a little too much on it. I'm in the middle about that. Makes me want to stay in the house more, But it gave me something to do at home. To me it's not lame, So it's time to game.

"Powwow Daydreaming" When I close my eyes, I hear bells on men's regalias. I hear them jingling As they walk around the arena. On the outskirts, The men and women are around the drum As they sing in unison. I smell the sage, Burned to bless the grounds. The leather backing From the beadwork on my regalia. I hear the MC announce my category, Teen Girls Traditional. The singers prepare to sing My contest song. As I hear the first beat, Boom. I take a deep breathAnd get ready to dance. We move counterclockwise To the beat of the drum. There is a tension and a balance Between grace and dancing hard. The more I bend my knees, The more my shawl sways. I'm floating. The first honor beat comes. I start to bend Slowly And as the beat picks up, I rise, My heart beating. I take deep breathsTo keep emotion from my face. When I open my eyes, I see the bright green walls of my bedroom. There will be no dancing this year, Just the hum of TV. The whir of the fan. I am alone with my daydreams of powwows.

Dislike. 8 a.m. It felt like 90 minutes of pain. So tired. The brightness of the computer. Hurts my eyes. It felt weirdIn a way I didn't like. At home, I got to lay down At lunch. It was like when we was a kid And had naps during school. I listen to music while I do work. It was hard, Being at home And trying to learn. The noise made it Harder to concentrate. Instead of desks and chalkboards, I see the TV, The hum of Cocomelon in the background. The warmth of the computer on my lap. Realizing my friends wasn't around. These two years, I feel like I've learned less. Felt more difficult, Being in class. Every year, I look forward to powwow. Pandemic can't take away Our connection Or the taste of fear When I go to take a test. I love the sound when I type on the computer. I didn't want To wake up early. I was so used To waking up late. Summer break. Unusual. Not the same. We've been on our ownThe whole time. Long, tired days. Working hard On my summer job at Subway. Into August, Into my senior year. Terrified, But also excited for a normal year.

"Quarantine"Covid changed everything, our lives will never be the same. Thinking back to how things Used to be,Riding down to Myrtle Beach Walking to Coastal Grand Mall Or through Broadway.How can anyone stay sane?Wearing masks every day.The feel of paper against my cheeks, No smiles from strangers.It's a different type of pain. No fun,No walking the aisles of Wal-Mart On Columbus Corners Drive. The sweet smells From the bakery at the front As I picked out my favorite Sugar scrub. Greeting family members, Classmates from high school. No games, No deep conversations with Nyasia from Hallsboro, Trinity from Fayetteville. My mom says to quarantine, And I do. Everyone is beginning to complain. Out of work, Out of money. Checking our bank accounts, Waiting for the stimulus. Shortages on toilet paper.When Whiteville hears A hurricane is coming, It's gone:Bread, water, toilet paper. This is the same. Where there's sunshine There's rain.Is this a never ending Pandemic game? Lost loved ones. Friends grieve grandmothers. Broken families.

"This Is 17"In the Morning, The dew on the grass Fresh. I walk slowly to My white Acura. I'm headed to school with My cousin Callie On Old Lake Road Toward East Columbus in Lake Waccamaw. Keep Straight five minutes, and It's on your right. In the middle of the pandemic, I got my independence. July 9, 2020 In Fayetteville. I was with Anastasia and all I could feel was Butterflies. Nervous, scared. But in the mornings When I drive with Callie, I feel Calm. I see pine trees as far As the road reaches. Little houses, churches,Miss Linda's. I feel my diamond steering wheel, The leather seatsBeneath me. Rap music Blasting. I ride this road Five times a day. I've been on it more times Than I can count, From home in Buckhead To Whiteville, Myrtle Beach, Fairmont And places in between. But now it's sweeter That I'm taking the wheel. This is 17.

At first, I thought it would be a good break. Little did I know things would Change so fast. I was in seventh grade,And I didn't think coronavirus Would be that big of a deal. I was wrong. Actually, I liked the idea Of us being out of school. I thought I wouldn't be doing any work, And I could chill. I was wrong. My gma had me up the first MondayChopping grass. It was so itchy. That was wrong. I had to do packets of schoolwork. They thought I'd be doing the work packet. They were wrong. Then they had us to pick up our Chromebooks And told us to be online by 8 a.m. Me and my friends thought it would be easier Doing schoolwork at home. We were wrong. Finally, I got out for summer. I thought I would be enjoying A break from school. I was wrong. My gma. Yep. She had other ideas. That first week we were back in the garden. Picking corn in that itchy grass. That was wrong, August came, and I thought I'd be back in school. I thought I would be able to experience All that was eighth grade. I was wrong. They put me in theater arts. We just watched videos. If people think that is a good way to learn, tThey are wrong. I did get to practice with the cheer team. I finally got to do something I actually wanted to do. That felt right. However, we didn't get to cheer at any ball game, And I didn't get to experience eighth grade formal. That was wrong. It is now a Wednesday in May, May 26, 2021. Nope, I had no idea How much life would change. They said it would be two weeks, But it's been a whole year and two months. Things that changed so fast Became things that changed for so long.
