The Kiss

This morning my dad said
Who’s moved my bloody cell phone?
Christ why can’t people leave my things alone.
There was just the two of us.
I said I never even touched your cell phone
and my dad said Where the hell
is the bloody thing? O forget it.
Get yourself dressed. I’ve got to get to work.
Aren’t you dressed yet? Then he didn’t talk
till he dropped me off at Mum’s and then he said
Kiss.
