Because of the terminal
certainty of the itinerary--
his course redlined
with an actuary's passionless

a replay of his father's descent.
And with her--
so young
he reinvented his flame
but of course
the outcome
is always
the same.

I just posted my father left five children to start three other families that he left too. I have been married to the same woman for 22 years, he wanted credit for everything he did, I only want the love.
