We would meet once a week and
Discuss things I’d stolen
Not necessarily items but
Memories and
Perspectives
She pulled out a few
Classics
Like
‘did your father ever beat you?’
No, oh wait
Yeah
I remember once
The natural history museum
Climbing into the dinosaur exhibit
To talk to the red velociraptor
Dad climbed in also
And pulled my shorts down
Slapped my behind
Soundly but..
‘Well that’s all we’ve got time for today’
She got a few laughs
And I got catharsis
Cheap daytime comedy
