Jay & Mike's Secret
Poetic fiction by Joseph Chambers
Art by Fernando Amaro Jr.
Two teen boys walk into the old graveyard, dragging something wrapped in garbage bags. I begin to overhear their conversation from my rest spot behind a tree.
You made the strife that smothers this naked night
And you know, nothing makes it right to take a life
...Iām not debating, Mike!! ...I had to save the lives-
That we lead, which means; I had to slay the dyke
Darkness marked this night, cause you parted life
With your heartless knife. I can't believe you started
Mike!.. Shut up, and dig! Youāve said plenty, mate
So Iām not arguing. Besides, itās your fault anyway
Jay, you're the 1 who straddled her waking frame
& the raping came, only for you to start taking aim
Wit that crazy flame - in your eyes as she resisted
ŅStop!!!?Ó she insisted - Thatās when it got twisted
And you flipped with that six inch blade in hand
Then stabbed repeatedly - You Never gave a damn
Cause you kept going, & going - Its because of you-
I'm mixed up in murder... I donāt know what to do...
For starters, shut up & dig - Wanna revisit the past?
OK, fu#%r - Youāre the one who put pills in the glass-
Drugged the whore up and raped her KO'd body
Then you called me in to get a free ride - Got me?
...Gooood. Now realize it's your fault I'm in this shit
You obviously didn't slip the bitch enough pills, nitwit
Iāve got my whole life ahead of me Š It's tragic, why?
The bitch woke up - Me or her!? - She had to die!!
*cries*.. I swear, I didn't really want to hurt the kid
I... I fu*%d up!... I, truthfully, don't deserve to live
Alone at that dumb party... God, whyād I spot her?
Shit... God, What am I going to tell to my father?
Nothing!..
For the next few days, Iāll keep you in my site...
You've got to get over it - I wont let you ruin my life
As for your father, I'm pretty sure he'll def. miss her,
But It's not my fault you had a thing for your stepsister
Come on, Mike. Wipe your eyes and lets finish covering the body. Me and you, homie.
We're in this together. Be strong. We can pull through.
