Memories Of Shit
A broken swing set
A deflated basketball
Fourteen lifeless toy soldiers
A pair of roller skates without wheels
A cracked and emptied piggy bank
Fading family photographs
My mother’s fits of depression
My father’s alcoholic rage
The bloodstained outfit my sister wore the night she died
The laughter of cruel children
Horrible schoolyard names
Lonely days and lonelier nights
The silent phone on a friendless afternoon
Imaginary friends in the dark
Black eyes
Missing teeth
The noose I wanted to use
Cheap holy shoes and holy shirts
The secondhand jacket with yellow patches
The used books with missing pages…
Memories of shit
