our major school bully (may have been
more) was a year ahead of me in
grade school: his younger sister could
turn cartwheels and I envied her:
but the bully, I won't reveal his
name for he may have kids, grands
in the area – he had mean slitty eyes
when he was coming for you – once
he came for my little brother and was
beating him up: furious, I leapt into the
fray – result was, we both got bloody noses
