The fear
lurking
just below the surface
fag
kike
pinko
commie
sissy
fairy
cityboy
Never knowing where the hurt will come from.
The beauty of the snow
the quiet of the early evening
shattered
by a snowball rubbed in my face
Fuck! him!
Don’t! fuck! him!
Freeze him out.
Cut him
out
of my heart.
Cut the joy out of me.
One assault
intended to teach a lesson
but the lesson it taught
gone awry.
There will be no other lessons.
The student is no longer present.
-- Larry Wolf (1994)
