Just the two of us

Father

Many fathers leave the mother

to raise the children

while he works full time

absent

 

My father was like that

driving the country

when he actually was around

we knew to stay out of his way

 

He drank, smoked

rode his motorcycle

sat at the bar

he knew the bartender

better than his own son

 

When Margot was born

I told everyone

I will not be like him

little did I know

how right I was
