Rain for three days now and
Good time Charley’s gone with
his pregnant retarded
wife 4
kids & one in the oven his stuff’s still
out in the yard food packages from
GOODWILL bright
colors of Christmas
Wrapping broken
Toys crack
Pipes straws
With bite marks on them from
Tweaking he
Was a good wrench and a good
Hand with
More skills than he could
Use her mom said she
Was adopted was
Always a disappointment would do
Anything Charley said spend
Money she gave her for food on
Clothes but she worked
Hard at
Being a good mom it wasn’t
Evil just the mess we
Drag behind
Us so full of
Possibility so
Short on
Reality rain
Dripping
Down the big
Blank
TV
Screen mattresses
stained
With dreams
