    A child falls from the swings and scrapes their knee. When they go to the nurse for a band-aid, they notice that the band-aid does not match their brown skin tone like it does for the white child next to them. Looking at the wall of band-aids, the child sees they are all the same skin tone and does not reflect the diversity of skin colors of the children.

    Band-aids by Christina Hupp

    Flying, flying off the swings I go


    Crashing, crashing the ground is approaching down below.
    I look down at my scraped knee
    I’m bleeding, bleeding off to the nurse I must see.

    She hands me a nude, crisp band-aid,


    yet the tan boy next to me seems dismayed.
    His chocolate skin does not match my own,
    In fact his band-aid contradicts his skin tone.

    I look at the band-aids that line the wall,


    Yet there is only one tint amongst them all.
    In my brain I am so confused,
    Because of all the band-aids, there is only one hue to choose.
