His father left him and his mother when he was only five years old.
Just walked away
Who knows how this son observed, and perceived, life in 1945.
Had a Harley by thirteen.
He joined the Army young, under-aged.
Became the best mechanic, that I’ve seen.
While stationed in Germany in 1960 he meets a German, pregnant
bar whore. American G.I. is all I know. The bastard child is born four
months into 1961.
His life till then, full of cheap boose. The military is good for that.
He’s a raging alcoholic and back in Canada with a new family.
Years pass, and in 1964 the seed has been planted.
Twelve days into 1965 his boy is born.
Their lives are already in an uncontrollable turmoil driven by alcohol.
His perception of the world tore giant holes in the world around his family.
Abuse of every kind ran freely throughout the home.
The bastard child, molested for years.
The whore, wife, mother, beaten and no doubt, sexually abused.
The boy was lucky, he only had to see and hear the abuse.
Very seldom was the rage directed at him. Two or three times for sure.
10 years pass.
He walks away from his home, his wife, his bastard child, and his son.
Who knows how this son observed, and perceived, life in 1975.
10 years later he walks away from his woman, her child and his first born son.
Who knows how this son observed, and perceived, life in 1985.
