i must say
this holy thing
all fathers say
and you know
beforehand what
all fathers say
but for some reason
you still will not
turn off the light
in the room
you just left

Pants
"Put your pants on!" he said to his kids, after 2 PM on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
"Why?" they asked.
"BECAUSE I SAID SO!"
"BUT WHY!?!?"
"BECAUSE PANTS WERE INVENTED AND YOU SHOULD WEAR THEM AFTER 2 O'CLOCK ON A SATURDAY."
"OK. We'll wear our swimming suits."
"Fine." he said after thinking about it and deciding it wasn't worth fighting over anymore.

on this june day
on this june day
what do you have to say?
the birds and the trees
in full force
the squirrels in the yard
faster than the cats
but nothing quicker
than an unsatisfied mind
and for what
remembering lost games
where you landed
on boardwalk
