me politely, so what does
your father do?
or did he do
with his life.
is he still alive?
basically it's a who's
your daddy kind of question.
i tell
her he was astronaut,
a congressman,
a brain
surgeon, and that was all
before he
turned thirty.
and then he became an
inventor.
you've heard of google
haven't you?
yup, that was him.
oh my, she says. moving
closer to me
as i sip my gin and tonic.
so where is he now?
he lives in florida now
on a flamingo ranch.
flamingoes are his life.
she bats her eyelashes
so hard
i can feel a breeze coming
off her face.
how fascinating
he must be.
and what about you, are
you a chip
off the old block.
i look at her and nod,
i smile and say.
without a doubt, i am.
