and try to think if i had a rational
wise adult
in my life
when growing up.
a mother or father,
an uncle,
an aunt, a teacher in school.
someone polite
and smart, conversational.
classy
and curious about the world
at large.
parents were too busy
back then.
so it's not their fault, having
kids like litters
of kittens.
working their fingers to the bone.
the only person i admired
and looked
up to
was Rodney Dangerfield
on the Tonight Show.
