who's in charge here

my father
was not a good arguer,

he had no skills
in the art of debate,

there wasn't a hint
of diplomacy

in his slurred words.
no contrition,

no remorse or regret.
fists seem to work better

than talk, or reason.
knuckles were more decisive,

they informed us clearly
who was in charge here.
