for my father
As a yawn is contagious,
do as I do or just listen
to my voice. Let
what I say remind you
of something you've forgotten
to say or do or render
important. Let me remind you
why you go sailing
by yourself, then phone your
kids when your sails hit
broad reach. Let me show you
why you're suddenly inspired to write
poetry in your 50s, and
what it means to be proud of your father.
