he was boiling sugarwater – last time – for hummingbirds – they quit showing  and  had shes best on her back cross his mind

         which

wasnt something hed think

made him wondered where the infection came from

he imagined his worthless brother-in-law

                                           but hed been dead sweetsixteen years

               he thought it spoke plainly for his contemptdislike of his piece of shit brother-in-law

were he alive

              hed bet dollars to donuts he thought the same of him

try as he may he couldnt convince his wife

he couldnt convince his wife evenafter his brother-in-law punched hergave her a black eye

Really

He didn’t mean it.

People mean to give people black eyes

she looked askant

                    He didn’t mean to.

If I gave you a black eye youd have me arrested And rightly so    You give him a pass

   He didn’t mean it.

Is this the shit one tells themselves a lie over an over an over an over again until they believe it you came back on the plane the whole while lying to yourself so when I saw you youd say he didnt mean it so I don get on a plane an break his face

He didn’t mean it.

walking out of the kitchen past the phone on the wall he slapped the wall above itglanced at the kitchen clock opposite it

though twice he didnt go with his family to his father-in-laws house so he didnt beat him senseless

hed beat him senseless

his wife bundled up their girls

he kissed the three of them goodbye

told her to drive safely please call him when she arrived

she said she would

I love you

I love you.

his brother-in-law believed that a woman was only good for one thing  on her back

a good woman

               she was all over the place  ALL OVER THE PLACE

his brother-in-law was myopic unimaginative

                                                a real Blueblood cunt  entitled  privileged

ask him if he had a regret Yah not a snaky nanosecond passed some people were disturbed how quickly he responded

Yah I didnt beat my brother-in-law senseless

some people a lot of people

                           could suck his dick
