if one looks good you are welcome to take it.
In other words, I am training myself to say,

because according too legends it must find its father again.
The old legends knew, perhaps, that in absence
the father becomes glorified, deified, eroticized,

The human father has to be confronted and recognized as human,
as man who created a child and then, by his absence,
left the child fatherless and then Godless.

I have gratitude for EVERYTHING
that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment.
