I talked to my dad today. We love eachother! Who could break the bond between a father and daughter? I wont let a man or a bad memory come into play.
I miss playing with him when I'd swing upside down between his legs, playing on grandma's bar, and singing in the van.
I remember feeling bad 'cause I couldn't harmonize like my sis.
I love him ('half a heart') in the same room where at 3 and 4 I stole the abandoned cups of coffee to add to the joke of stunted growth.
...

like smoke in your eye
an uncontrollable cry
like an unsolved question
still asking why
...

Bye mom we're going out to play
Sshhhh…sneak by the window and past the maple tree
Put one foot forward and slide down with me.
The road on the left down the fire escape, ……. but run
we’re not allowed to stay out later than the sun
