NO HESITATION

Man, all those times,
all those anxious
 and nervous hours
we’d wait  for you to
come home:
wondering how drunk
and fucked up you’d
be, what kind of mood
you were going to be
with, a playful and
humorous tone or a
vile and vicious , cruel
and scary asshole,
and that’s why the
first chance I had of
knocking you to the
floor, I took without
hesitation or regret.
