CENSUS | SHERMAN ALEXIE



When
Geronimo
Fell,
He
Didn’t
Say
His 
Name.

He said your name, which is __________. You’re the one who pushed him onto that train and shipped him like a zoo animal to Florida. You’re the one who broke his bones and pickled his brain. You’re the one who put him in a suit and tie and set him aflame. You’re the one who returned him to the highest mesa and then pushed him off while he was rememorizing the view. And as he fell, burning, he didn’t say his name. He said your name, which is __________, so all you have to do, my

Friend,
Is
Fill
In
The
Blank.
