your father

your father
would
pretend to spank
you
to satisfy your
mother who
sat in the other
room, frustrated
by the boys
and girls
at one another
all day.
he'd slap his
hands together
and you'd howl
and howl
until she came
running in.
how strange and sad
with so
much joy
that they didn't
last together.
