what it feels like

January 21, 2007

Father infused in me to direct my attention
more on wits and reasons than on emotions.

But  I see father with great sensitivity when
the world hands him over the hard facts of life—
poverty around him. He cares.

He’s the kind of man,
if you badly and awfully need 5 pesos,
and all he’s got is 5Pesos,
he gives it all to you.

To  make you feel, what it’s like to have 5 pesos.
