Once again, stripped of my dignity Once more, had to pass between a double row of cudgeling, non- forgiving females who beat me to a bloody pulp... Also known as die Gasse or the Alley, a sub-human life form walked in front of me with a rusty, jagged knife to prevent me from begging for mercy on my knees... Me, or better known as the condemned was prodded along by a pursuer while being dragged through broken promises with a hangman's noose around my neck Hands were tied... Sharp words cut deeper than edged weapons The un-femme fatales weren't required to keep one foot in place - made it a point to kick me so many times in the asshole, I was unable to walk erect... The Gauntlet, Again is, in effect exposure to cutting ridicule, the same as being in a pillory, a pranger, or the stocks - all of them expecting you to 'Take it Like a Man'; here come the knittles...
