I can’t say whether he was stupid or smart

laughing in that straightjacket


one-two


there wasn’t much choice for him

not really, growing up in that hole


one-one-two


with suburban paradise all around but

inside the beatings, bloodied present only


one-two, one-two


no thoughts of the future were necessary:

“go back out there and knock their teeth


down their throats

my son”

two-three
