like when
your only son,
or at least
the only son you know of
forgets
to send you a Father's Day card,
a birthday card,
and a get well soon card.
but you hold your hopes out
for Christmas.
who doesn't send a Christmas
card to their father?
but then i shake the sadness off
and realize how busy he is.
walking the dog, cooking
and cleaning the house
while his girlfriend is at work.
playing basketball with his
friends, traveling
and going to movies.
hanging out with his mother
down the street.
maybe he's taking classes or
something. working on another
college degree.
writing poetry.
i'd be forgetful too if i had all
that on my plate.
he had such a wonderful
childhood too.
