roadtrip

began in the Midwest

he had to see the Pacific never had
                                     had to see the California beach that ran its entire length that of Annette Funicellos Bikini Beach fame

    it didntWhadahell he thought it did   a lot of the kids he grewup did


rolling south through Salinas John Steinbeck country knew that for certain a billboard
                                                                                                                             HAVE YOU BEEN A DAD TODAY?
didnt see who or what organisation sponsoredwas responsible for it
                                                                         appreciated it
earlier stopped off his eldest daughter with friends in San Francisco then to Santa Cruz where his younger daughter had friends

hed double back in a couple of days and fetchem

he was off the hook  hed been a good Dad for the day
                                                           hed be until either he or they were dead
didnt know otherwise
                        there was nothing better
Hell since he and his wife slapped labels on them  namedem that was nuts   for their lives  branding   permanent
unnerving  asked the hospital Can we get back to you in a week or so she didnt look like the names we picked out back to agonising Square One
   an emphatic NO

NUTS
        Had to try
 

fortunately the girls were products of love not sex   and he had had plenty plenty before marrying

no ring at the doorbell

open the door

Hello. I’m your son . . Hello, I’m your daughter . . Do you even remember that night you had sex with my Mom?
he didnt have nightmares only dreams
                                         but an instant like that would be as close to a nightmare as he could imagine

HAVE YOU BEEN A DAD TODAY?     
                                                       passing the billboard he thought Howbout  HAVE YOU BEEN A MOM TODAY?
then for his edification he asked
                                   Or didya just give everybody a headsup an nameem Sex
