Father to Son: Game Over


“A man who has SEEN-IT-ALL can be no one’s hero – for there is nothing to him, nothing any longer TO HIM.

On the too-near side of this:

Men dance with their shadows –
whose nature is quicksand. 
Push, push here, 
be sucked, sucked in there.

There is no winnin’ as long’s there’s anything to ya.

Do you realize my boy, that everything you long for would be instantly available IF a shadow could  just keep itself out of the room where it is…and speaking of such things, when it comes to LISTENING TO STEREOS.  Watch the speaker rather than trailing after the music. Okay son, keeping in mind that I never urged you to get a sensible car, stay in school, or not put this-or-that-stuff in your body, quick, tell us – what d’ya think it is that I’m really talkin’ about,” asked the father as he checked his watch.
