"boys" poems
Ladies and gentleman skinny and scout I'll tell you a tale I know nothing about The admission is free so pay at the door Now pull out a chair and sit on the floor On one bright day in the middle of the night Two dead boys got up to fight Back to back they faced each other Drew their swords and shot each other The blind man came to see fair play The mute man came to shout hooray The deaf policeman heard the noise And came to stop those two dead boys He lived on the corner in the middle of the block In a two story house on a vacant lot A man with no legs came walking by And kicked the lawman in his thigh He crashed through a wall without making a sound Into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned A long black hearse came to cart him away But he ran for his life and is still gone today I watched from the corner of the table The only eyewitness to facts of my fable If you doubt my lies are true Just ask the blind man, he saw it too

Two dead boys (My favorite poem of all time!)
the lady has me temporarily off the bottle and now the pecker stands up better. however, things change overnight-- instead of listening to Shostakovich and Mozart through a smeared haze of smoke the nights change, new complexities: we drive to Baskin-Robbins, 31 flavors: Rocky Road, Bubble Gum, Apricot Ice, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Mint... we park outside and look at icecream people a very healthy and satisfied people, nary a potential suicide in sight (they probably even vote) and I tell her "what if the boys saw me go in there? suppose they find out I'm going in for a walnut peach sundae?" "come on, chicken," she laughs and we go in and stand with the icecream people. none of them are cursing or threatening the clerks. there seem to be no hangovers or grievances. I am alarmed at the placid and calm wave that flows about. I feel like a ***** in a beauty contest. we finally get our sundaes and sit in the car and eat them. I must admit they are quite good. a curious new world. (all my friends tell me I am looking better. "you're looking good, man, we thought you were going to die there for a while...") --those 4,500 dark nights, the jails, the hospitals... and later that night there is use for the pecker, use for love, and it is glorious, long and true, and afterwards we speak of easy things; our heads by the open window with the moonlight looking through, we sleep in each other's arms. the icecream people make me feel good, inside and out.

The Icecream People
nobody loses all the time i had an uncle named Sol who was a born failure and nearly everybody said he should have gone into vaudeville perhaps because my Uncle Sol could sing McCann He Was A Diver on Xmas Eve like Hell Itself which may or may not account for the fact that my Uncle Sol indulged in that possibly most inexcusable of all to use a highfalootin phrase luxuries that is or to wit farming and be it needlessly added my Uncle Sol’s farm failed because the chickens ate the vegetables so my Uncle Sol had a chicken farm till the skunks ate the chickens when my Uncle Sol had a skunk farm but the skunks caught cold and died and so my Uncle Sol imitated the skunks in a subtle manner or by drowning himself in the watertank but somebody who’d given my Uncle Sol a Victor Victrola and records while he lived presented to him upon the auspicious occasion of his decease a scruptious not to mention splendiferous funeral with tall boys in black gloves and flowers and everything and i remember we all cried like the Missouri when my Uncle Sol’s coffin lurched because somebody pressed a button (and down went my Uncle Sol and started a worm farm)

Nobody Loses All The Time
(c) 01-25-15 The cold has come What once was green , now brown. The air is cool Promise of Spring to come. Boys are gathered Practice begins for the games to see who wins. The ball is passed Ball aloft at last. Through the hoop the points are cast. They finesse the ball as they pass and trick. To out wit the opponent as the clock does tick. They win they lose this season thus far. Led by great coaches has been better than par. When the games are done whether lost or won. It is all in the fun As they have a great run.

Upwards (basketball)
That workaholic lady who's always on call, keeping up with the market fall. That newly married lady with chunky red bangles, returning to her father's big castles. That person who's scared to get lapse, so stays active on the google maps. That person who swings like a kid at the back door, Or the one who perform calisthenics on an empty floor. That next door girl with a red lipstick, flicking her shinny hair & gossiping with her clique, That dreamer gazing outside the window, That overworked soul dozing on his elbow. That 21st century kid, listening to Eminem & playing video games. Or That 90’s kid, listening to Jenga Boys & playing outdoor games. That banker with a big fat stomach, filled with his beautiful wife’s love. That lady who eats like a thief, in her big fat bag hiding a beef. That old man who can’t stand Bombay's winding turns. That granny spotting & criticing  every fashion trends. That man who has Raju Rastogi’s concerns, thinking & chanting for earns & returns. Those kids who believe their job is to fill the voids in a battlefield, in the still crowd surpassing like electrons into a magnetic field. That lady sitting under cold seat like a glacial, than standing with 7kgs in a crowded central, & tryna stay sane listening to George Michael. That geek who switchs from Linkedin to Arjun Reddy, when the masses flee into the scenery. That trader crunching numbers so rapidly, when the stock prices go down hourly. That person on the last seat, diagressing from work & gazing around, soaking in her pashmina, with a career newfound.

The English vice, Some Etonian curse – Set down in grass And purple verse, Lavatory bred With ransacked blood, Skin slapping and With a falling thud – Takes boys at childhood, Wishes them away, With promises of popper fuelled buffets, And poisons them with Vice and virus red, And sees them unmarried Giving head. I don’t regret a single thing I am, I’ve tried it out And can’t abide the sham – I’ll **** men And make them beg for more, I’ll scrabble for their love upon the floor, I’ll love men And love will love me too, I’ll love for love’s own sake And when I’m through I’ll die and I’ll be thankful that your hate Never made me beg that I was straight.

I'm the ***** the quiet girl in the front of the class, according to the handicap stall in the upstairs boys bathroom, a **** I love, and when I do I love to no ends. But you'd never know how much this ***** loves, because there is no love shown.

Feminine Stereotypes
Burning fuel but not to leave, boys circled town, came back to the station where they began. Gas exhaust drifted like spirits above asphalt, dissolving in the night. Girls stayed in the lot, waiting for men old enough to buy liquor, their names claiming the land- long after other names lay buried in the ground. They kept to the faces, legs folded on hoods, lip gloss catching the station lights, bracelets chiming, hair flips rehearsed, laughing at trucks circling back. They wanted to be chosen, and I tried to want that too- tried to be a girl among girls, waiting for the moment some hand would tug me out of the circle. But my eyes kept straying- across the street, to the rise that was not just dirt but a chest under earth, ribs shifting, a hum curling into my throat. Something skeletal in its patience, as if Baykok himself were sharpening arrows in the dark, waiting for breath to break. Built long before us by Ojibwe, still honored as sacred ground. The others smoked, struck sparks, sequins spilling from careless wrists, never thinking how easily flame might travel down, through us, into what we couldn’t see. I could hear bones shifting, a buried drumbeat, the land’s own warning. Every glance of the mound pulled me back into silence. It told me what the others didn’t want to know- that all this circling, waiting, was only the lid of a grave.

Tumulus
( i ) I lucked out on table 4 last night window seat baseboard heat with intimate passages from Ginsberg in his purest and most evident form Cover-all Carl was draped in his usual garb (turning pages of yesterday's news) animating, culturing, bantering on the fate of the Greek barber (in an accent of which I'm not so sure) His cronies looked on (with a twisted conviction) countering with their own tales of ingovernance and woe *did you know that Panasonic lost 5 billion last quarter?* The evening moved in time lapse... with painted winds, streaming lights and a host of high school girls running cold Maleah passed on her late shift (checking the pile and trough), patronized the boys and called it a night ( ii ) The bald man is back at it again bickering at the till (something about a cold free coffee or 99 cents or the coloured guy behind him who got it hot) a kind Filipino is trying to get it done (at 8 bucks per) losing her cool and shedding a quiet tear Wonder what the Purewals or Haitians or Cossacks would have to say about this grim public reminder, wonder what this sad f*ck will do tonight... without his bus pass or sling sack or broken Turkish stems

Fate of the Greek Barber
I let different boys touch me Because I wanted to know Even for a second What it felt like to be loved Even if the love was cheap And it tasted like *** Like the punchline to a joke I never got because it was me I let different boys have different parts of me Parts they didn't deserve But I offered up willingly because I couldn't give anything else after you broke me I was looking for different fingers to place different pieces and hoping the outcome would be a masterpiece Maybe one of them would find a way to cover up the handprints you left all over me I let different boys touch me because I had to prove to myself you wouldn't be the only one that these scars marking my body wouldn't define my worth to be loved I am not entirely sure you aren't the only one who could ever touch me without slightly flinching I let different boys touch me because that is all I have been taught To be a joke To be silent To be ready to give until you have nothing left - they keep leaving me and I am to scared to offer up anything more than my body to get them to stay

PARODY OF "OCTOPUS'S GARDEN" BY RINGO STARR. I'd like to be in the country In a marijuana garden in the shade They'd let us skid, and smoke a lid In a marijuana garden in the shade I'd ask my friends to come and smoke A bowl of good until they all choke I'd like to be in the country In a marijuana garden in the shade We would find digs, and ditch the pigs In our little hideaway inside a van Resting our head on a truck bed In a marijuana garden on a ranch. We would laugh at stupid **** We'd forget why and take a hit. I'd like to be in the country In a marijuana garden in the shade We would smoke and talk about The police that put us all away (put your stoner *** away) Oh I'm high! I'm high as the blue sky Forgot to go to work today. (Unemployed today) We would be so toasted you and me No one there to call the boys in blue I'd like to be in the country In a marijuana garden with you In a marijuana garden with you In a marijuana garden with you

Marijuana Garden
He pulled and parked the supply red wagon, then climbed the mast to the captain's cabin. Captain Red is ready for adventure. A quest to collect the world's best treasure. His pirate crew is renowned far and wide. They're rough and tough and they don't ever cry. But none of them boys has the captain's stuff. So don't mess with him, man, cause he don't bluff. This motley crew has achieved many feats, has never suffered a single defeat, and has seen the most incredible things: whales, whirlpools, storms, mermaids, krakens and kings. "Set sail," squaws the boss as he munches lunch and the Ocean Destroyer leaves port Wunche. These rolling green hills are now ocean waves. That blue sky, however, remains the same. ... "Hey Benjamin!" beams the first mate Susanne. Impeding the journey that just began. "We already played this game. It's my turn!" The first mate trumps the captain, Ben will learn. ... Her spacesuit crew is renowned far and wide. They're smart and nice and they don't ever lie. But none of these girls has commander's stuff. So don't mess with her, girl, cause she don't bluff. This brainy crew has achieved many feats, has never suffered a single defeat, and has seen the most incredible things: aliens, black holes, stars, and martian springs. "Lift off!" beams the boss as she munches lunch and the Star Chasing Rocket leaves base Wunche. These rural backyards are now rocky space. That blue sky, however, remains the same. ... "Hey Susanne!" beams the pilot Benjamin. Impeding the flight before it begins. "We already played this game. It's my turn!" The pilot trumps commander, Sue will learn. ... Boys and girls grow up and out the front door. Those children’s games evolve to adult chores; those kiddy lawns to grandparent’s domain. That blue sky, however, remains the same.

When I was just a little girl, And as little girls were taught then, I played with dolls and a teaset, Made mudcakes for food, Wore skirts, made my hair into ponytails as I was let. I saw the boys with the abandon which comes with free wear and play, And I thought to myself, why am I a girl. When I was older, a teen and as teen girls were taught then, Walk, talk, rock softly Don’t draw too much attention Or attempt to explore too much. I saw the boys then with the abandon which comes with freedom to play, sit, be as they want , And I thought to myself, why am I a girl. When I was sixteen, oh sweet sixteen, And as sixteen year old girls were taught then, Don’t wear clothes that show your frame, That’s indecent and you will be in another home and will incur alot of blame. Don’t wander, argue, or express an opinion, You’re a girl, being humble, quiet and gentle becomes you. I saw the boys then with the abandon which comes with freedom of movement and speech, And I thought to myself, why am I a girl. When I was older, and passionately sought a particular career, I was admonished as many other girls in my time, It’s not a career for women, late nights, more men to be around, When you get married, that’s not going to work and troubles will abound. I saw the boys then with the abandon which comes with the freedom of pursuing their dreams, And I thought to myself, why am I a girl. When I was married, and setting a home, working and raising a family, I left my work as many other girls in my time, For my husband to follow his work path, Unquestioningly, unflinchingly, resolutely. I saw the men then with the abandon which comes with freedom of being in control of their lives, And I thought to myself, why am I a girl. But this is just the surface of my questioning being a girl, When boys and men around tried their stunts on girls and women, I questioned my existence. When many girls and women I know, Were told to stay mum on men close who took advantage of them I questioned my existence. When In the workspace, Women got paid less than men because their salary were subtly looked at as secondary salaries, Or needed to speak louder to be heard, I questioned my existence. When the onus of keeping a relationship working was the woman’s responsibility largely, I questioned my existence. When a woman got hit by her spouse, Its she who may have provoked him. When a man strayed, Its she who was not a good enough wife that he had to look elsewhere. I questioned my existence. The atrocities many men are capable of, The filth many men spread, **** hate, aggression, manipulation and more Abuse, gaslighting inside closed doors, Wearing a mask of sophistication outside Animalistic and entitled beings to the core. My apologies to men who are not, And I know some, But they are but a handful, Too insignificant in the larger way the world works. But then I see me, A harbinger of change, In my home and around. Raising my son differently, Advocating for change purposively, Actioning resolutely what’s right, Woman for women with all my might. I see so many more women now who retain their selves and are beacons of hope, They don’t sit around and just mope. And I am glad I am a girl, And I question no more, I question no more.

. * Do I have a tongue, Can I speak too? In this strange world, Am I a human too? Do I have a heart, Can I live too? In this strange land, Am I alive too? In the midst of Oblivion, I search my visions, I once used to dream, As a young teenager, In Sea of Paro s I try to remember, The faces of people I had once lived with Father, mother, brother Of all those people I had once called family. I came here as girl, I am shared in the family, I born plenty children, I am sold and re-sold In and around To any men who Can afford to buy, I am kept but Seldom married, Each street have it's own paro, They all have But the same story. After some years I cease to exist, For the people Who bought me I am an old cattle Who no longer give them pleasure, I am now a burden A liability soon To be shedded.. They don't throw me though, They leave me alone In a small room, I have become a mother Of a girl or two I have new family But no identity fits me ever, When I come here I became a Paro, When my times up I die a Paro!! Paro is short for Pardesi, a foreigner, I am the girl Bought for men From another land Into there land, To born son's For there motherland. This is ordeal of A soul that once lived, Now it's just a body With no role, No fiction this It's a real story A reality of some Distant land !! That land for you Is so very strange Where eight young man **** a pregnant goat! And the strangest thing is they go away and Roam scot free..!! Soon the elders in the village Will have a big meet, They will give compensation To the owner of the goat, And free from the sin There precious young boys The martyred goat Will also have new name, And so it will soon Be christened to A new species of "Paro"- a first of it's kind A Welcome from an animal world!! And so I ask again Do I really exist? What form of life Do I have here? In this strange land Are they human too?? Does even a little atleast A thing called Humanity exist??? * Sparkle in Wisdom. 1/8/2018.

The ultimate Dragon Poem and a childhood favourite of mine which still sends shivers to this day... Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail Jackie kept a lookout perched on puff's gigantic tail Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee A dragon lives forever but not so little boys Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee

If I could tell you, every thing you want to know, I would, but my walls are to hard to take down, but every time, you speak to me, they crumble to the ground, and i hope, you'll be by my side, when death succumbs to me... beautiful boy who cares, you sing a song that only I can hear, I cant get enough of you, the happy little messages you send to me, i cant explain, you aren't like other boys. oh, beautiful boy, I've never felt this way before! all the other girls and  boys I've been with, i never truly love this hard, you understand my darkness, you under stand my deadly thoughts, Oh walk through the strawberry fields with me, saying nothing is real, walking on starlight and dancing in moon dust, your  hair capturing the shine of the night, i want to give you the universe, and hold your hand, falling through the sun by your side, capturing the light of your eyes, picture yourself, falling through time, what thoughts will flow through your mind? your hands held in mine, in synchronized meditation, open up your third eye, were your atoms next to mine? did our souls entwine? picture yourself, laying in a field of grass, with your head next to mine, watching the butterflies glide, the seasons are changing, are you still next to me? with the leaves off the trees, this isn't electric, this is calm, with explosive colors, i'm not falling, i'm walking, i'm willingly going to you... are you walking to me? do you picture it too?

Explosive colors
i. I intentionally failed to wish you a happy birthday this year, though I know significant dates, hours, moments, people, by heart. I still search for you in boys I mistake for bandages, the ones with eyes almost the same shade of your hazels, lips resounding your laughter, resembling a wisp of your smile, But they aren't you. ii. Sometimes I pretend you're dead, because it's less painful to stop reaching out into voids. iii. My mom still blames you for everything that preceded that year. Though you probably had no idea what happened when we stopped talking altogether. Can you believe it's almost been three years? iv. My dad wonders who was my 'one that got away' Though, I'm pretty sure he knows it's you. v. Remember how I mentioned Sylvia Plath? How most everything she wrote brimmed with melancholy? How I loved every single word? Especially that piece where she talked about expectations and disappointments. You'll never know that up to this day I still think people are selfish enough to always, eventually turn into the latter. Even you. vi. It's sad I never got the chance to tell you about Ted. How she loved him so much, she just had to figuratively dive headfirst into the flames-- burning herself, what was left of her-- after she found out he never really loved her the same way she loved him in the first place. vii. *truth is, some of us never learn to accept the love we think we deserve.* viii. I don't know if you still read my poems or if you still think about me, about us, sometimes. Every time you fall asleep past eleven, a part of me hopes you do. because I always remember you-- in birthday candles, red ribbons, off-tune voice records, golden arches, concrete sidewalks, pedestrian lanes, the last flickers of city lights softly fading out of the blue. I remember you in everything, in everywhere, in everyone. It's useless, no matter how much I try to forget. No matter how much I just want to forget. I want to forget. But, how could I? When forgetting means forsaking the very memory of you.

I heard the footsteps as they came across the road; The snap of hurried feet outside the house. Shapes in the moonlight, a voice in the darkness, A knock at the door, I heard the dogs barking.     The bleating of the flock, The chatter of the birds amongst the trees, I recall the whisper of the morning breeze; Hyphening the broken silence as two boys stole about the house; It was midnight in August 99. Two sparks set out to chase the bang! Bang! ~ set them running. I cut them down; I cut them down! I heard the sirens as the cops sped off the road; The squeal of hurried wheels outside the house. shapes in the moonlight, a voice in the darkness, A knock at the door, I heard the dogs barking. The bleating of the flock, The chatter of the birds amongst the trees, I recall the whisper of the morning breeze; Hyphening the broken silence as two cops stole about the house; It was midnight in August 99. Two cops set out to chase the bang; Bang! I put my hands up and the cops took me down! Judge I’m guilty, it’s true for everything they said I did; I did! But there were reasons, don’t you see: These boys; they were bullying me! I called the cops on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, came round again; still no one came; drove me insane; Two sparks set out to chase the bang! Bang set them running; I cut them down! Two cops set out to chase the bang! Bang! Yes, I put my hands up! and the cops took me down! But Mr Wolf gave me twenty, and the circus came to town; for as a victim I was lonely; but as a killer; as a killer; I was crowned. Newsworthy, top of the heap, the talk of the town!

The horror, the rain, The misery, the pain. The factors of teenagehood And its ghostly being. From nasty rivalry, The silver teardrops quench the Hunger of discaring boys. They move on to their next victim. Words like love, hate, ***** Are thrown around and toyed with. Teenage socialism is a witch, Sweeping misery across the generation. Heartbreaking, the look in their eyes, Well up with tears, victims to lies. Teenagehood, it grasps you By its crooked claws. From your peace, it rips apart Your soul and leaves damage in its trail. Why do we have to suffer? Why can’t we return to the world? The world we loved and cherished. Toys and songs, now perished. Puberty, hatred, fear, They all add up to one phase in life. With its treacherous fangs. Hurt from distrust brings misery near. With sympathy to all, For a long journey ahead. Hold on to your sanity, For the reason you have previously read.

Teenagehood
Borderline personality disorder Unseen people unseen energies tickling my back Distrust paranoia Longing for love unwilling to accept Dreaming of self harm of boys in all black Who am I to you Trust no one not even your best friend especially not them Avert your eyes don’t look at me I don’t see you I hear things that aren’t there I hear things they whisper my name want me to follow Casual *** casually falling in love Relapse around the corner need to see my blood I smell blood I taste it Close my eyes move to music become a ghost Crying in my bedroom crying in public No one sees I am invisible Think horrible things think about killing A certainty that I will end up alone This sounds like a suicide note Want to be art want to be in the ground burned to ash Who AM I ********** daily In love with love In love with being on my own I can’t belong to anyone I want to belong to someone Can’t be a girlfriend can’t be a best friend Can’t lose me that’s all I have in the end I sound ******* nuts Borderline personality Don’t smile Won’t smile Bitterness bitterness Too afraid to hang myself Punch myself in the face Spit on me Respect me Degrade me Take me away take me in What the **** is wrong with me

Glitter and gold is the man in the chair with rings on his fingers and the hardened harsh stare blinded by ugliness wrists chained down by no use a man with much money he spends on abuse the term known as trafficking familiar I’m sure he’s never been one for doing what’s pure so he lays down his money flings out his cash says he’ll pay the full price for the girl with the mask just to touch her to feel her pet her cold body with his run clammy hands up her scarred legs clamp her in his ashen fist little boys too he will willingly harm because trafficking to him is a sport no need for alarm Just cows in the system of making ends meat. The poor solemn dancer the poor saddened soul the poor battered spirit angry that they’ve been sold with ***** feet and scabby legs they work to feed the king the end from him they can only beg And freedom will never ring.

Glitter and Gold
We used to swing under the big willow tree We lived 3 doors down from each other We were princesses who fought dragons We could save the kingdom and find our prince by lunch time Our moms laughed and talked about how cute we were Four years old was a cute age Fast forward a bit We went into elementary school innocent and young Boys had cooties Girls had cooties Kickball always ended with someone getting hit in the face We would always sit out field and pick grass and shape it into a little birds nest Life was good Until your parents started fighting and I mean really fighting. It scared me and I would have to go home I would make you come with me three doors down Our moms didn’t laugh anymore By Christmas break your parents were broken up and divorced Eight years old was a confusing age Junior high was mean. Girls would rip you to shreds and then hang pieces of you on everyone’s lockers Boys just wanted to make out A whirlwind of uncontrolled hormones We were the quiet ones Always flew under the radar Just trying to make it out alive We found a little spot to eat lunch under the stairs where no one would go We giggled and talked about boys who didn’t even know that we existed I remember crying in the bathroom with you because people were brutal and we weren’t good enough Our moms worried about us and how distant we were becoming Thirteen years old was a sad age Highschool is another story You were put in the hospital for a month I was left at school alone I had to find more friends I found most of them were fake So I ate my lunch in a bathroom stall Reading all the swear words that were carved in the wall You were really sick and we grew apart We were always close We will always love each other You tried to save me from myself But I didn’t let you Seventeen was an important age Now we are at different colleges I tried to **** myself while you were getting an A on your anatomy test It’s sad We don’t swing under the big willow tree or fight dragons anymore Our moms hardly talk You are a success and I am a failure We don’t really mesh I miss you every day I’m sorry I can’t be good enough for you We were princesses who lived three doors down, we saved the kingdom. I love you I’m sorry this has faded Just like everything else Nineteen years old is a dying age.

They look out from the terrace. At the borders of sight live rocky hills behind brown and golden and olive crop under a cloudless sky. BANG! An artificial cloud. “Mira,” she points, “Venga!” They fly down stairs, diving like sparrows into the street. Boys sprint across pavements and climb; men vault over fences in time for news to reach ears. "¡Ya vienen!" Excitement and fear. The rattling of cow bells and galloping nears. Men bait and dodge horns and escape through doors and up and over red wooden bars. Sticks beat on the concrete ground and closer, louder, gallops sound. Seconds away – until the last, he side steps into a house; indoors, apart, he runs through the foyer and up the stairs around a corner with long strides too fast to follow. She chooses left and sings soprano when doors won't budge and        it                       crashes                                        in. She turns and the fear is paralysing. "FERMIN!" "FERMIN!" "FERMIN!" He hurdles the stairs and explodes but it rams her to and fro, thrashing her head against the wall where horns sin and gore cement and brick. He clasps the tail and heaves its hide from side to side as hooves smash crates of wine - they slip and slide in fractured glass; he finds a horn and yanks the head! He's yanked instead near dead before the men arrive down stairs to punch and kick it; strike and stick it smack and hit it; 'til it fits and quits and flees the foyer, fast and frantic, flying flustered by the frenzy, finally finding pattering paves it peters off down the street. "¿Que ha pasado?   ¿Quien ha sido?   ¡El Balbotin   y la Chicha!   ¡Que una vaca   les ha pillado!" "¿Estas bien?" Dizzy she's there with searching hands and scolding. "Podria haber sido peor"
