Father from the Past

June 22, 2009 10:11 am

Discovery of the West

My father describes

An adventurous time

Just before the credit line

Rescued from the draft by childhood infirmity

1965 built a damn for California’s prosperity

Simple stories of work and wonder

A feeling of jealousy

My inquiries do uncover

Like a time traveler

With a busted machine

I’m stranded in a scene

From the future obscene

A small world of facts and figures

At 32 I have far too many answers
