Bleacher Trash
-WHITE ONLY-
Crane, necking around to catch a glimpse of Ruby if he could.
His lust for her was better known than his contempt. When women were not around, his thinly disguised misogyny exposed itself. Signifying that she would be a “tasty little red snapper.” Or referencing Santa Claus, “Ho-Ho-Ho Who Wouldn’t Go.”
Billy never quite understood that not everything that popped into his head was of sufficient quality to pop out of his mouth.
in dark hollows,
a chauvinist mind strokes
the vision of her
Billy barks, “What-cha think the Supreme Court goanna do bout Nigragation?” He was always trying to fluster the boy’s mother with crude brashness. Rushing now - to catch his filled container before it fell over the side, he scolds the boy for being so clumsy never, occurring to Billy that fucking with a boy’s mother came with consequences.
select a wrong pitch
a ruthless critic of your choice
