Pass the Bottle

Sweet taste rolling around my tongue
burning down my throat
a warm cozy feeling in my stomach
my morning wake-up
my afternoon pick-me-up
my social lubricant
my evening wind-down
my bedtime nightcap
Pass the bottle, please
Dance

Two steps forward, one step back
It’s the dance of your life
Grab a partner dosi-do
It’s the dance of a lifetime
Round and round we go
covering the same old ground
It’s the dance of your life
If you’re lucky
you’ll still be standing
when the band is done
Father

Damned if you do
because it’s probably not good enough
Damned if you don’t
dead weight, deadbeat, not good enough
It’s a heartbreak and a joy, all at once
like most things in life; a paradox
To those that do, that try
that put forth effort, even if it fails
you’ve earned your title
Dada, daddy, dad, pops, papa…
Anyone can be a father
sperm, egg and a chance meeting twixt the two
Not everyone can parent.

Missing I was
Here I am
Back again
To stay?
