    2501 West Walker Street
    I am the scene
    of neighborhood
    window watchers...

    I bolt out the door
    with my clothing
    half torn..

    running through darkness,
    down the middle of our street,
    as fast as my legs could take me...

    get to the Seven-Eleven,
    where lights are bright...
    seek safety from the public
    alone in the night..

    You describe stark fear at its worse. And, hopefully when you reach Seven-Eleven you get to call 911 immediately. There is no shame in being abused! Silence is never the answer!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
