HAPPY FATHERS DAY

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
