giggling
mon uow my sister and i
used to laugh at night
when we were kids
she couldn't sleep
i couldn't either
we used to play
cards and rhymes
word associations
and songs she would sing
the star spangled banner
like an opera singer
i would laugh, i would
giggle, and sing along
until my father
would come storming
into our room, yelling
and hitting us, for making noise
for waking him, for waking my mother
and my mother
would apologize for him
because he would
never he could never
say sorry and now today
i sing sometimes
but never for my father
we'll laugh together
but we never laugh together
and i'll make noise at night
but i rarely giggle
