Dad's withdrawn in more ways than one,
fallen sun darkened by women.
Tonight, processed meat confuses the tongue.
I climb a tree to hide from the land
because I understand an empty gut. There is no lamb --
I can taste the salt on my awful hand.
At the station Dad will scam
pennies from the tower, and we turn
to what we chew most: bad teeth, spam.
