thank you dear dad
for being around
keeping your distance
while keeping me grounded
for teaching me I was
as good as sweet Josh
for two weeks backpacking
in Glacier National Park
for hanging shy of parsimonious
for keeping me nourished
my surroundings harmonious
I thank you for never
giving me a doll
and for never exhorting
a Purity Ball
