recalling daDDy

and you struck the chord… (i'd had it out for you since the beginning,) taken nine years from you, turned them into months and whose bottle nourished you from  how they came to you, slo wly… slid do w n… and warmed your stomach (cause you know I never could,) and who did you say belonged to those breasts (of which you spoke so proudly to me, i might add..) ? and i know, the ripe old age of twelve, you adult-ed me (and deemed me fit for normal life,) and what can I do now but thank u for declaring life an unfit mother (worse than you thought Her!) back'd you up-(thought you sane, only to find) I'd taken the sunBeams from the freezer; hidden them in the toilet… but I said, in the first place (your place) I'd love you well-having forgotten about that Bitch I was at eleven And somehow stumbled back(word) into you (found you again without fumbling this time!)
