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!
