like sunflower seeds and cigar ashes and Bic lighters in college apartments
like a new mother’s worries, single or not
like
like my father’s children
sunflower seeds and cigar ashes
Bic lighters in college apartments
dust in the suburbs dust in the hood dust in the pews of full churches
new mother’s worries new father’s misconcerns
good cops good politicians honor among priests
the right to due process
privilege among thieves
sunflower seeds and cigar ashes
Bic lighters between bishops
Walmarts and cockroaches when the switch is flipped
dandelion seeds in Franklin county fields
Wafflehouses and hip hop clubs in the city
cigarette butts and futile scratch offs
like
like our Father’s children
like my Father’s children
