Beginning

“Dad”
I
Offer him
A smile
Even though
I feel
Like
Puking

Surprise
Surprise
I feel
That
Way

I slowly
Walk over
To him

“You look
Good”

Dad gives me
That
Same
Identical
Stare
That
I’ve
Been getting
Since
I
Thirteen
And
Started
Visiting
Dad
Here

I
Miss
Dads
Voice

I
Want to
Hear it
Again

His
Eyes
Hurt
Too much
To look
At

But
I can’t
Avert
Them
For some
Reason

“Mason
And Chaz
Are doing
Great”
I
Tell
Dad

I
Always
Talk
Small talk

Its
Not
Like theres
Anything
To
Report
Anyway

But
Then
I remember
Sher
And
Her talk
With
NBR
Today
And
A
Lightbulb goes
Off
In my head

“Sher
Got
Scouted
For a
Record deal”
I
Tell Dad

Dads eyes
Spark
Interest
Pure
Interest
Though
His face
Remains
Stoic

Something
That
I havent
Seen from
Dad
Since
The day
Of the
Accident
Right before
The
Accident
And
We were
Playing
At
The park

“Shes great
You should
Hear
Her
Sing

She has
The voice
Of an
Angel”

And
Dad looks
At me
With
Knowing
Eyes
Like

Like
Is it
Hope
In his eyes
Or
Maybe
Longing

I cant tell

“Her
Voice
Is
Like
If
Janis
Joplin
Went
R
‘N
B

Or
Bette
Midler
Except
Younger”

Dad
Smiles
Softly

So
Faintly
That
It could
Be a
Smirk
And
My eyes
Are just
Deceiving
Me

The
Expression
On his
Face
Has been
Blank
Since
That
Day
So
I have no
Idea if
My eyes
Are
Deceiving
Me

“Ill
Ask
If I
Can bring
Her
Demo
Next
Time
Okay”

Dad
Stares
At me
Like he
Did
When I
Arrived

I know
That
I saw
Something
Different
From
Dad
Today
No
Matter
How
Insignificant

Now
I have
Hope

“Lennon
Quincy
You have
To
Leave
Now”
A guard
Tells me

“Sorry
Dad”
I offer
Dad
A glance

“They say
That I have to
Go
Now

But
Ill
Be
Back
Next
Month
Same
Time
I promise
Okay”

I smile
At
Dad
One
Last
Time
And I
Turn around
And

Leave
