dumb blonde

i listen to dolly parton and cat stevens and--
broken plates are a family-wide love language.

i should apologize.
i don't want to.

do you remember when i split my calf on the neighbors fence?
i flipped my bike going 10 in a 25 and butterflied myself,
and you were mowing the lawn.
you were mowing the lawn and--
i was afraid of you, not the blood.

'he might need stitches,'
and even then i knew stitches meant money meant fast food meant--
'it's not that bad.'

and no amount of star wars band-aids could've prevented the six inch slice that makes me feel strange in shorts.

and we'll all laugh about the fear in my eyes over easter dinner.

happy father's day.
