I enjoy your analysis, but I will feel the poem is about child abuse and the innocents of the child who can not see it as evil or bad. Thank you for your perspective.

I think you’re great! But you are also going out of your way to avoid the abuse angle. I’m a firm believer in connotations and whiskey, small boy dizzy, scrape, battered knuckle, beat, death, etc suggest an undertone of not just uncomfortableness, but fear. It is not necessarily a depiction of an abusive incident (though it absolutely could be a metaphorical one) but that shadow is definitely there…

Hi

[@Voltage343]

Very interesting I remember being a kid and needing love

Rather ominous, these pans falling down, and the great danger of the boy being squished by the daddy if he misses too many steps. What else? The right ear is getting hit by the father's buckle!! Sad, so sad. Then the father beat the boy's head! Beat! What's going on? I think we're hearing the bullshit of a pedantic, tightass picking apart a fond memory of a boy and his daddy.
