happy fathers day
to the man that contributed
to my being
although i never knew you
i knew you loved to jive
loved to shoot stuff in your veins
loved to beat my mom
insane
my only memory of you
holding your head in shame
katchup dripping down your face
but you gave life to me
and like a turtle in the sea
i poked my head inside the ring
a very unusual thing
would not have happened ever
if it wasn’t for you
clever
now i write poetry
about shit inside my head
now I understand why
some people
would rather be dead
excuse me as i ramble
i know you liked to gamble
live like there’s no tomorrow
who has time for sorrow
hey god are your listening
oh forget it
gold is glistening
