Final Reckoning (Day 591)

Your father is dying.

Maybe 

it’s time (at last)

     to get over your-self 

         

and that 

     privileged childhood

you suffered

            

     through   with all its

     First-World problems.

Maybe 

it’s time (at last)

     to dance 

     with joy 

     and gratitude 

           for all 

           those things that made 

your life   

your life  

      

for all 

He made 

     damn sure 

     you’d never 

     

     never have.
