saint clair shores
boulevard rowhouse plus
basement barstools
fourth grade pretend
my dartboard friend
add paint it black 1966
slow snakes in the garden patch
free peppermint on the fence
Christmas sitting close to the tree
his breath like whiskey on the carpet
pre-built erector set for his pleasure
selfish engineer hits my mom
ignoring his addiction
his face reddens
never get out of line, just wait
here it comes
football music on TV
here it comes
break my snare drum, sparkle red
lessons lost
hide in my room
mom takes the lightning
the smell of pine fades
I feel nothing
I never feel anything
he took that away
just another day
