i just want to be a dad and make art
to write poems and stories and to read
to do these simple things is all i need
but wages wage their beatings on my heart
the day’s committees dictate what i write
and maintenance of monsters that i make
is all the mental labor i can take
until at last beneath a single light
wielding pen or with my anvil easel right
i forge my mental armor long into the night
