"Sticks" by Thomas Sayer Ellis

When I read this poem it kind of made me feel bad for the kid. The kid has no good role model his dad slaps his mom and the mom tolerates it. Therefore the child thinks it's O.K. and he wants to follow in the same foot steps as his father. "Use his, pretending to slap mother when he slapped her."

    I kinda got the idea that at first he followed in his father's footsteps, but that writing allowed him to get those feelings out in a different way...."words are parts of speech with beats and breaths of their own. Interjections like flam. Wham! Bam!"

    Why do you think it's called "Sticks"?
