Dad
we watched the whitecoats
gather like carolers
they opened their mouths in unison
pebbles spew from their mouths from height
malignant stone words
as we perched on our glass lives
tensed, expecting to shatter
the world head over heels
the butterflies in our stomach
almost drowned out the words
the pronouncement of the whitecoats
flickering fluorescents
left us weak in the knees
the grey day outside
looked decidedly blue
How can these numbered days end?
