Taking the Kids for Pizza
I’m sorry. I don’t mean to sound
thoughtful or sad, but you make
me thoughtful and sad and I think
that is good. What other reaction
so fits the world?
If we take your kids for pizza is it not
natural that I should think about evolution?
When I follow your daughter toward games
that shine like harbor lights, should I not wonder
at the tensile strength of life, so fragile and tough?
I know I think too much and talk
too much, like that douchebag
in Dover Beach. But it’s how I am.
I think now, as I watch your girl point
at a plastic fish, that I’m ok with it.

I liked this,but the use of “thoughtful and sad” that close together seemed over used–what do you think? Was it intentional? I like the flow of he rest of it.

Hey thanks for the comments. I felt exactly the same way when I wrote it. It sound ok if you read it out loud with a certain emphasis, but it’s a little too much to have that repetition on paper.Thanks again for the comments.
