Dad

I never saw him but he said he could … dive sixty feet into three feet of drink ... i saw him drown drafts and distillers from glasses that clink … I never saw him but he said he could … ride bikes backwards on bars with his butt … i saw him abuse and call her a **** … I never saw him but he said he could … whip any ten men only for fun … i saw him whip loved ones and brag he had won … I never saw him but he said he could … ascend, sail in air ships … i saw him soar from s t a g g e r i n g summits to heaps on the floor … he never said he could but i saw him … InciteinvisibleInvaders CURSEshadow’sSilence BR EAK bones HURT hearts TURN holidays toHELLDAYS PUSH peaceTo Pandemonium I SAW HIM!
