Darkroom

The Last Time I Sympathized

He ridiculed people
with tortured brains.
He was considered obnoxious.

People don't know this
and they would never think of it,
but I get it.
You just have to do it
where nobody can see it.

Three thin lines
beginning to heal
were revealed when he lifted
his shorts up to his knees.
Then the bell rang
and class was dismissed.
