a simple exchange
happened in a busy Walgreen’s a father trailed by his two young daughters
Daddy, did you see that sign?
I don’t have time to read signs
right now.
he was harrieddistracted it was Christmas Eve
one could excuse hima harried
shopper rushing to find some thing
he didnt
he was offendedhe
had daughters too
if they ever followed in his wake
it was a matter of him clearing a path for them
if they spoke to himhe
acknowledged them he always had time for
them
he was responsible for them and
to them
the guy didnt even look back at
his daughter
he could imagine what the
dismissalignorance felt like
he knew it
however most of the times when he
was about the girls ages he was well-down-the-road keenlyaware of his parents pie game
he never shared his realisation
with them
their pie game was simpleis
simple
when something only concerns us we
have an entire pie to ourselves
when we get involved in a relationshipour
choice we have a choice listening to our dicks or cunts is a cop
out we
chose to get involved
the whole
pie is cut in two halved when was the last time you thought halves
if the relationship enduresif
the negotiations prove palatable you
negotiatedright
then theres a possibility of
breeding One Two Three
the pies cut into three four five pieces
love is cut into pieces or
discomfort and lies are distributed unequallyparticularly unequal in regards to
the children who didnt ask to be game pieces
he and his wife were all-in
regarding their children
he didnt recognise he had a life
until his children were on their own his
lovehis wife had died
he realised he was okay with it it was what
they intendedwhat they meant when they had children when they bred
he had little
recollection of his midtwenties to his lateforties
where did his life go?
he anted up
as Cici did
they raised their childrenraised worthwhile individuals
part of raising children was reading
signs whether they asked critically if they didnt
he almost grabbed fatherDaddy
by his shoulder almost he didnt
the girls were cuties
he hoped they ran deeper than their
looksthat what he witnessed was a one-off not consistent
maybe the girls understood pie
