Wrong Kids 
	
	Are they back yet, are they back?

Back, who's back?

	The children...

Children? What Children?

	The Ones at the Border...

Which ones, which border?

	The Mexican border, the children—are they back—back to their parents?

Someone said some---not all—but some.

	That's too long...children can't wait that long. How can that be?

ID...they didn't have IDS.

	But surely they had bracelets...in hospitals you always wear IDS.

They didn't know.

	Who?

The guards—they didn't know. When the orders came, they said children had to go in another room. No one said anything about IDS.

	Where? Where did they take them?

Away. No one knows. There are places. The buildings are not marked.

	How could they do this. This is not right.

Don't ask me...there's nothing that can be done.

	I will write. Do you know where to write?

No, no one knows these things.

	I will write. I will write the Department of Justice.

Better check online...it's tricky...I tried to write...

	You did? What happened?

Said it was the wrong address. It was Juvenile Hall...said I got the wrong kids.
