Why cant you see that?

“Refreshing.”

When she is opening the slab box

She cuts a few cans with the knife

Spilling beer all over the floor.

I nearly cry

But my old man

Fills up a cordial jug

With the left over dregs

Says it will taste fine

With a bit of lemonade.

I catch him at night

Skulling the beer from the jug.

He winks at me.

I say

"lemonade is for pussys."

He puts down the jug and

wipes his mouth.

we stay like that for a few

minutes.

the refrigerator hums

and out side

god watches our house

quietly.
