canadian club

my father's anger,
was fueled
on whiskey.
seven children, 
that we know of,
probably raised
his stress level too.
always with a pack
of lucky strikes
rolled up in his shirt sleeve.
a few girlfriends
on the side,
an angry Italian wife,
and a small
house without
air conditioning
i'm sure it all added up
to make a frightening
toxic stew.
