Basement trash
Dust collecting
On everything
My passions
My loves
My hates
All stale.
Nothing new,
Or exciting,
Or anything,
At all.
Coming, going
Nothing lasts
Nothing real,
At least.
Thin veil
Of gray
Soft blanket
Covering all.
White glove,
Test failed,
Visible everywhere.
Falling apart,
Even now,
No end
In sight.
Old records
Gathering dust
Deep in
The basement.
Space
The final frontier?
Or just the begining?
My favorite space is
the one between
my ears
My least favorite space
is the one
between you and I
Please give me space
No less than 1 foot
all around
lest I think you are
a pickpocket
or worse!
I love two spaces
after periods
But only need one
for parking
And don't you dare
impregnate my pause
Some spaces are meant
to be held
no matter how awkward

Deadbeat Dad
Absent Father,
We regret to inform you that your application for "Belated Fatherhood" has been denied. This decision was made after thorough reviewal of your application as well as substantial research into your history as a father.
You're application lacked several of the necessary qualifications for "Belated Fatherhood" acceptance. These qualifications include:
- emotional support provided to child for 5+ years
- explicit desire for regular visits with your child
- sincere remorse for shortcomings during child's younger years
- actual love for the child
As well as an incomplete application, it appears the child for which you wish to enroll in "Belated Fatherhood" for is over the age of eighteen. Our records indicate the child is twenty-two years of age. In this case, you are required to not only file an application for "Belated Fatherhood" but to also jointly file an application for "Inadequate Childhood Involvement". Our records show you did not file an application for "Inadequate Childhood Involvement".
If you wish to resubmit an application for "Belated Fatherhood" along with a joint application of "Inadequate Childhood Involvement", you may do so no sooner than 60 days from the date your original application was filed.
