Age 17 I slip quiet through kitchen ***** blind for bed In the 1 am night Forgot the golf ***** I left lying there One by one They roll, they bounce In a staccato poem Of Oh hell Yes, he flings door open “Any more noise I will get my belt!”

Age 17 I slip quiet through kitchen ***** blind for bed In the 1 am night Forgot the golf ***** I left lying there One by one They roll, they bounce In a staccato poem Of Oh hell Yes, he flings door open “Any more noise I will get my belt!”
My father had a hair trigger on his anger. I did my best to avoid him.
