He was was he was so
poor as a child / He
joked he said he only had
One toy to play with
and / I didn’t get it
even though I walked around
With my hand down my pants
Even though I knew the toy he meant
And after he had stopped
Stopped raping me he stopped
Telling that joke or it’s maybe it’s just
I don’t remember hearing it / And it
wasn’t until / After he stopped
raping me that I started failing out of school / Lost
my friends became bitter and mean un-
smiling
he wasn’t a funny man
why did he stop
telling the one the lit-
tle joke we had between us
