... a spoken word piece...

lyrics

Charlie Brown

This guy in high school had a head like Charlie Brown: greasy hair that showed which side he slept on, acres of freckles, pimples, bulletproof glasses that magnified already bulging eyes. There was something bovine about his expression, like a cow after the shock, before the descending blade. We all instinctively sensed that he was easy meat so we sharpened our words and ridiculed him until he bled and even his few friends joined in the slaughter for their own fragile safety.
Once, he phoned up this woman, told her that he was a cop, that he had something urgent to tell her and to meet him in the park. The cops found him waiting in a grove of trees with an ice-pick. It made the local papers.
When he was released, stupid Charlie followed another woman home, attacked her in the hallway, but she was stronger than he, pushed him down the stairs, got inside her apartment, locked the door, phoned the cops.
Charlie.
I sat near him in the school orchestra.
He played viola.
