HOMEWORK—LEVEL A: Down These Mean Streets, by Piri Thomas. Page 53
Everybody was dealing hard. Somebody got between me and Giant. It was Waneko, and he began dealing with Giant. I took over with the Jolly Roger he’d been punching it out with. It was Picao. He had been fighting all along—not too hard, I suspected. I got most happy. I’d been aching to chill him. He didn’t back down and we just stood there and threw punches at each other. I felt hurt a couple of times, but I wanted to put him out so bad, I didn’t care about getting hurt. And then it happened—I caught Picao on his chin with an uppercut and he went sliding and just lay there.
I felt like king and I wanted to fight anybody. I had the fever. I started for Giant, who was getting wasted by Waneko, when one of our debs opened up her mouth like an air-raid siren. “Look out, ya gonna get sapped,” she shouted.
We saw more coming from Madison Avenue. They were yelling and waving stickball bats.
“Make it,” Waneko shouted. “They wanna make a massacre!”
Who is involved?What is happening?When did it happen?Where did it happen?Why did it happen?
