How Can I Care About Poetry
How can I care about poetry ...
When my dad doesn't care about life?
How can I care about poetry ...
When he can't recognize his own wife?
How can I care about poetry ...
When my face is one Dad doesn't know?
How can I care about poetry ...
When my real father left long ago?
How can I care about poetry ...
When Dad struggles to find each small word?
How can I care about poetry ...
When his mind and his speech are so slurred?
How can I care about poetry ...
While this man that I so love is leaving?
How can I care about poetry ...
When I have little care left for grieving?
How can I care about poetry ...
While Dad's mem'ries go dark like the night?
How on earth can I care about poetry?!?
Well, sometimes I DON'T care ... I just write.
