A Family Exchange

John D Robinson

By the time the police arrived
it was all over;
we were sat down talking
and drinking and smoking,
our faces baring the brutality
of our violence
just several minutes before;
two police officers walked
into the launderette and
looked at the 2 of us,
“What’s going on here?
we had a call about 2 men
fighting” one of the
uniform’s said
“A family skirmish officer”
I said
“Don’t waste our
fucking time’ the other
uniform said and then
they walked out of
the place.
“You threw a lucky punch”
my father said
“Bullshit” I said
and then we were quiet,
looking at one another
having forgotten what
the fight was all about
in the first place.
