Pier Fishing With Dynamite


they say everyone’s got secrets
well, I guess his origin is mine
don’t think I’m ashamed
it’s just a lot to say
they don’t have scripts
for this sort of thing
& truth is always easier
when it's someone else's
mostly I'm still stunned
by his quick miracle
that a man gave me my son
then walked out
& doesn't even know
that my ex-girl
gets visitation
what do I tell him she is?
have you read it?
the wise-man says
    “if it’s messy, eat over the sink.”
so no, I’m not ashamed
I know life isn’t always
cut and paste
sometimes it’s tear and erase
