I read this poem and I wondered, "Is this about child abuse?"
If it were, I found it a bit strange for the writer to be comparing it to a dance, what more a waltz. Either he was glamorizing his father too much that he couldn't--or wouldn't?--see his flaws, or he was being sarcastic. I'm more inclined towards the latter. Reading the poem, I couldn't really tell anymore which side the persona was on. The language was neutral, and he described everything as he would a regular waltz, minus the violence.
But then, it could also NOT be about child abuse, but something else. As I said...The poem is quite enigmatic.
