Thirteen

by Nickole   Feb 27, 2008


Sitting to the side of my sibling
my father was driving the car
he wanted to have a cigarette
(to cover his lungs with tar)
so he pulled over at a car wash. i was thirteen

waiting to go get my mom
minding our own business
Des and i were playing outside
a piggy pulled up next to us
and asked if something was wrong with our ride. i was thirteen

my father said "no"
thats all i heard
i wondered what was going on
he was doing what he was told
but i knew something was wrong. i was thirteen

the loser asked for my dads license
i got closer at this point
did my father even have one? no, her didn't
so my mother came to the rescue
as my father got arrested

i stood there thirteen
