Some Thought Him Cool

He once masturbated into a school urinal at an angled view of other boys. Some pretended not to see, Some thought it cool. I was disgusted, I was not brought up to pull my pecker in public. I was not part of his bully-boy circle, but I was a member of the same cross-country team, when I discovered him cheating, he knew it. I was not a snitch, but he threatened to F... my Mom anyway; at seventeen it seemed possible; he was big. Then a few years later I heard he had been arrested for serial rape. When I told Mom she looked so strange. I had never seen that look before. When I thought about it, anger and sorrow laid down together, and they never got up again.
