out in the world
camping or perhaps imprisoned
return to the house
of a woman I was involved with
her father hates me
then he seems like my father
constant criticism
a parody of a father
complaining about
my clothes
body odor
work ethic
I have friends with me
all see through his anger
but nothing I do
satisfies him
he's a cartoon
we are preparing
for something beyond him
something serious
he doesn't know
he's no longer relevant
