Robin Lindh poetry

All your life you’ve had kicks; you’ve had fun.
Being dependent upon things to keep you going,
but what about joy?

Dad is in you drawer, dad is under your bed, dad is in your hair,
dad drinks all day; but what about joy?

Sis finds them, drops them, and you break her neck;
but what about joy?

Mom comes home at 0400 from___
you’re messed up,
dad is out cold,
sis is in the hospital;
but what about joy?
