She slapped my face hard
Introducing a whole new element
Into the conversation
I was twelve and had
Just told her she was
Not a good mother mistreating
My friend her weeping son
I admit she listened first
While I read her the riot act
I almost quoted scripture but that
Would have presumed too much
We paused briefly eye to eye
But I never saw it coming
When I quickly slapped her back
