"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."
Hunter S. Thompson

Father's Day

Every Father
fucked up.
repeat..rinse..
repeat..
'Every Father..
Fucked-up.'
you know it..
he knows it.
He changed your life;
you changed his.
good bad memorialized,
memorized, rehearsed,
and re-told
the justifiable tale
of that 'You'..
you became..
in spite-of,
or, because of,
that
'old fuck'.

don't 'love' him
because of "Him"
love him because
of You.
