WhippersnapperIn the summer, on my weekends with Daddy, we carry truck tire inner tubes cross the creek on a fell down log slicker than greased goose shit. Then we float down the river twenty-two miles.My stepmom has flowers on her bathing suit. I like it when the butterflies try to suck nectar out of where her nipples are supposed to be.Daddy cuts a snake in half on top of the water with a copper wire tied to a stick, a riverwhip.I slice my foot wide open on a river oyster shell. I drip red pearls on the water. My armpits and the backs of my knees rub raw.The sun goes down. He gets me back home to Mom late. She does the yelling with the tight fists. It makes me cry.Daddy cut a snake in half on top of the water with a copper wire tied to a stick. I sliced my foot wide open on a river oyster shell.
