when he back comes home drunk and smelling of old lipstick and cheap lager he'll spend an hour in closed doors to return back into shape
for the next problems he'll cause and the next problems that'll arrive spontaneously from dry diapers and stinky landlords and old lipstick and cheap lager
you've met them before driving their money working in lobster traps acting like stones in rivers
tired men who are just as confused as the next ***** pigeon
cursed to live their life hoping that family is truth and penultimate; some will be hated, and will act badly some will be hated, and become ghosts
some will be hated, and will sell their car or build another house or make you a steak dinner or a dog shed
and some will be loved, and perchance will do the same above,
but all of it love them or hate them is for you his truth his penultimate
the pearls of his life that shook his fate in that day in the hospital
they are not free from us and the world but they will try and fail and succeed in the end raising us
