rolling in the hay

my father had
no skills
at being a father,
never
having one himself.
he had
zero interest in kids.
kids
were toys,
or pets,
best kept quiet
in front of the tv,
well behaved
and fed.
it seemed to surprise
him that
another was on the way.
never quite
connecting the dots
of him
and my mother
rolling in the hay.
