This chapter presents a poem by a man who was at age 9 an unaccompanied minor when he crossed into the United States. The poem offers glimpses into the emotional world of a child adjusting in his new home in the United States, and as an adult still torn between his life in El Salvador and his life in the United States. 1 reference.
