Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Go - Go, already

     Go. Go, already. The father told his son
         He bit his lip, clenched his fist
      The son did not see the father’s pain

      Go, Go, already. His heart, racing madly 
         The son pivoted awkwardly 
                    ~  he quickly walked away
