It's Just Something.



The Consequence
gold
fish are
crunchy and
salty. known as
tasty snacks that
smile back until you
bite their heads off
but sometimes
the juices
from
watermelon
leak onto my treats

they
get soggy
i throw them at
mommy. they
stick for
a
moment
before falling

she
gets mad
calls for daddy
unfastens
his
belt asks
me how it felt.

i wont ever
see
sun again
never will see
their son
again

son: the tasty
snack
cant smile

  2. Okay, just so it is clear, the author's daddy never hit the author with a belt. Never, never, never. And her mommy never called for her daddy to do so.
