father's day



for my father





who can wear a
chemical suit for
3 months straight
in the desert



who inspires me
to write everyday



to tell the story as it is



the most honest
loyal and creative man
i shall ever know




he ain't no
cake-eater




my father's life is one
big adventure



and i'm so damn lucky
that he has always
brought us along
for the ride.





love you.






the day is yours

Love. Remember our writing assignments in Bali (in between chasing chickens)? You would write, I would chase chickens and dad would review.
