This is about the frustration of being a father, after a divorce
In between
In-between These alternating saturdaze my children whirr . . . Some telephonic conversation point They, hazy fantasy . . Half Imagined lives Now . . Mummy and daddy Don't play husbands and wives Anymore . . Each has Like carrion for seagulls Stashed Respective Legal beagles To one side as incisive as their fickle knives And Baying for partition Crave To slice the final pieces From this pies remaining lives
So . . This is here where we are now No more catch up at the days end Not tucked to bed Not kissed goodnight No stories nor No prayers to send There's nothing not Nor can I do To make this feeling mend . . . .
Since Each has their part in this narrative marked, Queued slots in time All's written down, agreed Is for the benefit of all Is legislated for, defined
so . . . . we wait . . . . Each flicks their counter stick days become hours as Slow minutes tick by and by . . Then when I see them at the weekend I tell myself the biggest lie That some piece of the pie Is better
