He said he was
barbecuing chicken
My Mom would usually
chop them into stews
that would last
My Step-Dad
was working again

for one meal
was a statement
A man of moments
I grew up enough
to throw him down stairs
and out of houses
We ate vegetable stew

He lived in cars
and on concrete -
not like
the Volkswagen Rabbit
he wore flip flops
and corduroy shorts in --- This section would really benefit from punctuation.
that cranked Boz Scaggs
and The Little River Band
when we met
When the garbage men found him
behind a dumpster
wearing his liver on his jacket
my Mom paced for answers
I listened
to Boz Scaggs
with Jim Beam
