The tear appears
it is wet
thank God
he hasn't seen it
yet
"Daddy what you thinkin'?"
"Oh, nothing son" - as I hang up the phone - almost undone
His observation
so
right
so
true
proves
he is the perfect one.
"Daddy, did you hear what I said?"
"Yes, boy - I did.
Yes, it's very sad -
my friend is dead."
"But Daddy, ... he wasn't old.
He was just like you.
He smoked and drank
and all that too ...
Hey Daddy?
Daddy?
Could your heart stop too?"

Better smarten up, eh? ;)
An old friend of mine had an MI at 37 years of age. He smoked, ate garbage and had all his teeth pulled by then, too. Fortunately he survived the heart attack and got his shit together. The world is a better place with him still in it.
