Robocop
It was the biggest argument
my sister and I
had ever heard
laying with our chins
feeling the rough carpet
on the top step
of the narrow staircase
We were silence
It began with Robocop
he knew
not to let me watch it
they had agreed
I was only eight
But I pleaded and he
gave in
now my nightmares
pointed the blame
and he could not lie
so they fought
My sister
did not understand anything
but the noise
looking back now
I think I already knew
that was the beginning
of the end
