Bonding

The night my father left his fourth wife
He dropped by my apartment with a bottle of scotch
Do you have any pain killers - He asked - My knees are killing me

I gave him a morphine pill

Playing country music is easier than making a free throw
My father said, sat at my keyboard and played Today I Started Loving You Again

We killed the bottle
Listening to Patsy Cline sing
I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry

Over and over and over again
