One-act
Look.
At the scene.
Don't be shy.
Look.
You know you want to.
A boy, thin and scared.
Pinned on the pavement.
A boy above him, strong and unafraid.
Punches pouring down.
Kicks like waterfalls.
People watching.
People shouting.
Faggot.
Faggot.
Louder.
The punches keep on coming.
The kicks unrelenting.
Blood on the street.
The thin boy is still moving.
Faggot.
Faggot.
The thin boy is asking for help.
People laughing.
More blood on the street.
Faggot.
Faggot.
Louder.
The thin boy is still moving.
Faggot.
Faggot.
The thin boy is still moving.
Ambulance.
Sirens.
People running.
No more punches.
No more kicks.
Just blood on the street.
The thin boy is still moving.
Until he is not.
