As if I really care why you get so upset,
Bring it all down, ground it in the real, the pain
leaps out, like the devil from the flames, in the rain
even tears disappear, you begin to forget
silly things, eye glasses on your head, to regret
slivers of time no one remembers, in your brain
endorphins flow, my dad got mad over the drain
disposal getting clogged, the plumber whom he met
literally, countless times before, we lost track
if my dad beat me up, or it was my brother,
for the plumber, routine calls required a lack,
emotion only played a role when the other
objective in his life, other than to fix pipes,
rested on discretion, to salvage a child's hopes.
