Father Sam
i married a man who
reads the instructions
and saves the manuals.
a numbers guy,
balanced equations and crossword puzzles,
answers exact.
as dad, he is love expressed in terms of stalwart practicality
multiplied by infinity times six, and, like the universe, ever-expanding.
randomized grilled cheeses on demand
and hit or miss puns equal to, or greater than,
truly home.


Happy Father’s Day to Sam!
Fabulous! Happy Father’s Day, Sam!!
