if you were not light, i would continue to open and close the door. - rumi

we'll start a band someday.

i've only wanted to be
lyrical and dangerous;
now i'm dad, daddio, big guy,
breadwinner, bacon fanatic,
nickname-giver, fun-uncle,
sandwhich loving, diaper changing,
nap buddy, banana bread making,
self-doubting, gourd baseballing,
dance recital anticipating, proud of an A on a math test,
me.
and lyrical and dangerous
don't mean so much.
