“Passing the Buck”

choosing between
mom and dad

it’s not in the bible
but life’s choices
writes stuff in

Kyle says
don’t give them a choice
then they might hate themselves
for making the wrong one

it’s better for them to hate you
for making it for them

getting over hating others
will happen
over time
but
hating one’s self
can be permanent

“Unmarked Territory”

I don’t know how many “lasts”
there are

will this be the “last”
super bowl with my kids
will it be the “last”
Valentine’s Day
will every special day
till May
be a “last”

things I don’t want to think about
but will
because it’s important
to treat every day as a “last”
and make the most of it
last
